  • Episode 108: The Omni Diagnosis
    Jan 29 2025

    We discuss the cycle of women being put on psychiatric drugs over the last seventy years, typically a trend of SSRIs and then switching to stimulants, and its relationship to femininity. The internet has caused many women to self-diagnose due feeling there is something wrong with them and then seek out the diagnosis. Many women, against all observable evidence, feel inadequate and that their must be something wrong with them if feel unable to keep up with the demands of motherhood or the increasingly hostile work environments of late capitalism. From the popular rise of Prozac to today's methamphetamine shortage, we discuss some of the reoccurring themes women describe when seek medication to "feel better".

    Plus, why women and girls are often told they "talk too much" (especially when good communicators), the never ending treadmill to nowhere of femininity, being outside the social fabric as a gay person, how economic demands create social avenues, the denial of social construction in gender norms amidst declarations of nature, and the problem with Twin Studies.

  • Episode 107: A Week in the End of Woke
    Jan 15 2025

    In advance of Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20th companies such as Meta, Walmart, McDonalds, and others, have announced the scrapping of their DEI policies. We discuss that political shift and also lasts weeks criticism of the LA Fire Departments DEI policies that led to the circulation of some inadvertently comical clips of fire fighters espousing the need to 'look like' the people you're saving. We also wonder whether Mark Zuckerberg’s metamorphosis into a jujitsu ‘bro’ and change of political allegiance is authentic or if it’s simply part doing what’s best for his company. Plus, whether Canada should join American (Hannah is ready to enlist!), the competence rhetoric of the ‘anti woke’ right, the central point people get wrong about social construction, mixed sex platoons in the army, and the feminisation of workplaces that creates emphasis on who you are rather than what you do.

  • Episode 106: On the UK Pakistani Grooming Gangs
    Jan 8 2025

    Since the start of 2025 the presence of Pakistani 'grooming gangs' operating across the United Kingdom has dominated online discourse and parliamentary debate. We discuss the nature of these 'gangs', provide a cultural analysis of why they existed, and consider the scale of the political cover-up by the Labour Party, police, and local authorities. Plus, the key divide in feminism on the issue, the Left’s sentiment that they own feminism because their project is a claim to liberating all humanity, Jimmy Savile, islamophobia as conceptually tied to imperialism or a useless term, and the Left’s delusion that ethnic minorities are universally aligned with them.
