The New Woman| Lexual Does The 80s #5 (Patreon)

Thank you guys for being so patient with me while this video was being worked on. My video editor needed a break, and so did I. In the 5th episode of Lexual Does The 80s, I'll be talking all about womanhood! Captions are currently processing, but should be up by Friday, Saturday at the latest. Chapters are being added tomorrow. I'm heartbroken that two clips (one featuring Janet Jackson singing Control and one using the Love and Marriage theme song) were cut/muted from the youtube video so that it's not completely demonetized. But, the subject matter has again led to "LIMITED" ADS. It sucks, but there's nothing I can do about it! Please enjoy the video though and be sure to run it up when it goes live on youtube and twitter later this week. Thanks again to you guys for allowing me to do these deep history dives. If I had to rely on youtube checks I would not be able to do this work. <3 Only two episodes left and then we're on to the 90s!!
