Hearing from scholars from around the world helps put into perspective and also makes us see that we share certain experiences as a human culture that we will forever need to expand on.

  • A well said arsenal of arguments against prolific bs spouted by the asinine manosphere, misogynist pmc types, & common, often unintentionally sexisxt misconceptions parroted by apolitical normies. Listening to this podcast was a cathartic and vindicating experience for me personally. it's an absolutely wildly fascinating collection of facts, citations, and analysis from two very accessible and engaging researchers that everyone needs to hear ASAP!
