Today, Jay!, Amanda, Deon and Erin continue our discussion on masculinity and dive into:
- The dangers of the online obsession with Patrick Bateman from American Psycho
- John Adams’ famous quote that could give some insight into today’s incels
- The Matt Walsh/Megan Kelly skirmish that exposes Walsh’s siloed world-view
- A small but interesting group of former Trumpers who seem to have woken up to the bullshit of traditional gender roles
- The studies that show women have better sex under socialism
- SOLVED! SONG! “Love’s Not a Game” (Directly inspired by this episode!)
