  • What happened to this pod?

    PATW started out fantastic. They were balanced and unafraid to speak their minds. Lately, they seem more concerned with not rocking the boat.

    As an sa survivor, I find their recent commentary deeply disturbing. They're conflating those who make consensual choices with true victims who are violated.

    From a loyal listener who is truly disappointed.

  • Hypocrisy at its finest

    You act outraged by what happened at Cornell, but also promote and glorify books like Losers 1 and 2. You can’t celebrate or normalize disturbing sexual behavior and then act shocked when it becomes a reality.

    And if we’re going to talk about sexual assault, let’s talk about how Male #1 was passed out and unable to consent, but Jane Doe admitted to sexually assaulting him in text messages.

    I’m usually a fan of your show, but these outburst without all the facts or due process is very irrespo... more

  • One of the Best Podcasts Out There — Seriously Underrated!

    I genuinely cannot say enough good things about this podcast. It is hands down one of the best podcasts I have ever listened to, and I honestly don’t think these women get nearly the recognition they deserve. What sets them apart is how incredibly real, honest, and unapologetically themselves they are. Nothing feels forced, fake, or rehearsed. It’s refreshing to listen to people who aren’t afraid to speak their minds and just be themselves. Their personalities, chemistry, and authenticity a... more
