    I’ve been looking for multi-cultural gender conversations that are factual and emotionally charged…this one is perfect. 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. Thank you for this podcast!

  • 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!

  • Just a lot of biologic essentialism, pared with a very rigid and binary view on gender.
