    The New Dating Rule That Blew Up A Comments Section
    Feb 20 2026
    It’s Friday, and it’s a news-free zone. Breathe out, friends, and let’s kick off with a splash of skincare nepotism - Gwyneth Paltrow’s daughter Apple is sharing how Mum asked all her “Goopy” friends to help fix her teenage acne and honestly, haven’t we all? Also, iconic magazine editor Anna Wintour just sat down with her successor, Vogue Content Director Chloe Malle, and served up a deeply awkward masterclass in "Boomer vs. Millennial" work ethic clash. So, who wants to pay everyone 30 per cent more? Is it ever okay to mention your food intolerance on a first date? What about your ex? What about your mother? And who the hell does pay, in 2026? The New York Times has dropped a new set of 'Dating Rules'. Some are genius, some are unhinged, and we have thoughts. And finally, we tackle a domestic mystery as old as time: Are you a box-flattener or are you normal? Plus, recommendations. Jessie Stephens has a very helpful robot for you. Clare Stephens wants to help you unlock creativity (it is a new year, fire horses) and Holly Wainwright wants to show you her new pants. SUBSCRIBE here: Support independent women's media Recommendations Clare recommends The Writer's Studio which offers courses for aspiring writers. Holly recommends the jersey barrel leg pants from Uniqlo In a turn of events, Jessie is recommending Chat GPT (we're shocked too) for anybody who needs some design help when moving house.

Honestly, why wait? She’s back. Angelina Jolie has a new movie out and the gossips think she and her co-star, Louis Garrel might be… you know. The comments section is flooded with young women claiming "ick", and that Ange "could be Louis’ mother." She could not, but okay. Anyway, Mia Freedman, Holly Wainwright and Jessie Stephens are unpacking why a 50-year-old woman dating a younger man feels like such a personal attack to Gen Z. Is this about scarcity, ageism, prudishness or just good old-fashioned man-eater panic? Remember, this is your free sample of today's subs episode. The full debrief drops for subscribers at 5pm.
