I’m really interested in a lot of the guests and topics of this show but so many times have had to stop listening mid-episode (most recently phoebe maltz bovy) because I can’t stand listening to Meghan shout over the guest who is just trying to answer the question! It shreds my nerves and I end up having to take a break from the podcast for a few months. Please get yourself together.
Wow. I am floored by the amount of opinions, generalizations, and assumptions made in this podcast by 2 women about women using isolated incidents and not a lot of research info to back it up. There is no deeper understanding of the layers of issues and reasons women or men may act or respond certain ways in the topics they discuss. I think there is plenty of evidence to point to the reality that sometimes too many women in a certain job or scenario may create an unbalanced environment based... more

Daum and Daumer probably uses methylene blue at this point. You just many irresponsible, uninformed and small minded things to say…for sure an affinity to hating on younger women, especially if they’re mothers. Also a zinonista.
Megan’s interview with Helen was very good. I enjoy listening to Megan for her heterodox views on topics impacting society. Her conversation with Helen on the impacts of increasing feminization on society was enlightening. This was especially true for someone like me who has worked in an organization and research field that has gone from gender parity to female dominated during his career.
