Gwendolyn Dolske and Rudy Salo explore the rise of Red Pill content, the "anger economy," and modern dating myths with guest Rafael Gomez, creator of the Women on Men podcast. We break down the narratives shaping online masculinity, why certain influencers profit from outrage, and how these messages impact real relationships.
What exactly is Red Pill ideology? Why is it so effective at keeping audiences angry and engaged? And how do gender stereotypes, dating expectations, and the myth of the "alpha male" distort how men and women relate to one another?
Together, we discuss:
-
The psychology of the anger economy
-
Misogyny and gender essentialism in Red Pill spaces
-
Why outrage-based content keeps people hooked
-
Modern masculinity and cultural expectations
-
What women actually say they want in dating
-
How critical thinking helps us navigate online gender narratives
-
Strategies for healthier conversations around dating and relationships
Perfect for listeners interested in gender studies, modern masculinity, psychology of online culture, philosophy, and critical analysis of social media narratives.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
