History calls her the evil. Pop culture calls her crazy. The internet calls her iconic.
Was She Wrong, Tho? is a darkly funny deep dive into the women we love to label as mean girls, in history, fiction, film, current events.
Each week, Christine Kiefer breaks down the wrongdoing, rates the chaos, and asks, maybe she was morally reprehensible, but Was She Wrong, Tho?
Episode 30 - Cathy Ames from East of Eden - What's So Wrong With Being a Whore?
Netflix just released a new rendition of John Steinbeck’s “Eastof Eden.” And Cathy, a central character, seems to be the epitome of every single that could be wrong with a woman.
Is Steinbeck right? Is Cathy the absolute worst female villain imaginable? Or is she just a woman who knows what shewants and takes action outside of expected gender roles. And why is being a “whore” the biggest dis possible?

***TRIGGER WARNING: THIS EPISODE DISCUSSES SEXUAL ASSAULT***
There’s an update on the Christa Pike execution. Spoiler alert, she’s alive, but it’s not because anyone in power spared her life. Are we still fans of the death penalty? Is this karma? Why can’t we kill people on purpose?
And, all over the news this week, a woman from CornellUniversity alleges horrible sexual assault by not one, not two, but seven men. What role does drinking/drugs haveon rape claims? What’s up with college campuses, frat houses, and sexual assault? How should the accusation been handled by the university, police, and prosecutors? And can we stop slut shaming already?
