048- Venus is a Man's World, by William Tenn, 1951
Wherein a man named Butt wants to get married.
Ruiz Tremello & Marguerite are in the New Bahamas, and this week discussing the 1951 short story, "Venus is a Man's World", by William Tenn. This one's kinda sexist AF, but mostly it's just 1950's playful sexism- you know, the kind that's terrible, just like all the others. We don't spend much time ranting about it though. Mostly I (Ruiz) tell the story and Marguerite reacts- you know, just like every episode.
