"Give me a call when you're ready to say, We were wrong, Doc! Please help us! And I will spontaneously laugh in your face while disintegrating into the grass. And thereby touching the grass as I disintegrate into it." Brian, Hannah Wallen, Dr Randomercam and Mike Stevenson on the Cornell 7 developments: the Title IX panel handing down suspensions, probation and expulsions, and a complainant who to...

"There are so many Save the World NGOs and Save the World LLCs in this state, you'd think we would have saved the world by now." Brian interviews Phillip C. Parrish, retired Navy lieutenant commander, intelligence and counterterrorism, who went public on Minnesota child-care fraud after coming off orders in 2017, and who ran for governor in 2018 and then for lieutenant governor on Mike Lindell's t...

"Make sure you're flagellating yourself not because you're not feminist enough, but because you're too feminist." Brian hosts political theorist Stephen K. Baskerville — author of Taken Into Custody and Who Lost America?, and of the recent essay "The Tragedy of Conservatism" — on family courts, the accusation industry, and why the professional Right won't touch either. Also: the outrage that turne...

"She's applying these talking points not as topics of debate, but as gotchas." Brian and Alison keep going through Rachel Wilson's debate with Kyla, also known as NotSoErudite, on whether feminism has done more harm than good — Wilson arguing it has, NotSoErudite looking anywhere else for a culprit. Also: Claudia Goldin's finding that the 1970s was not a spike in women's employment but part of a r...

"They decided it was cheaper to just kill her." Hannah Wallen, Mike Stevenson, Lauren Brooks and Richard the Lionhearted close out the assisted-suicide run on the Equality and Human Rights Commission's briefing to the House of Lords on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. Also: a definition of terminal illness that turns on a six-month expectation while leaving "treatment" and "temporaril...

"It's like Highlander for women." Brian, Hannah Wallen and Dr Randomercam on the Cornell 7 — seven Chi Phi members named in a September civil lawsuit, with nobody charged, after Tompkins County DA Matthew Van Houten declined to prosecute on a sworn statement he said did not allege she was drugged against her will. Also: Kathy Hochul stripping him of the case and handing it to Letitia James, who ha...

"If it refers to itself as it, does it dress in drag as a human? Is that drag for it? I just want to know the logistics." Brian and Alison read a Boston Globe piece from September this year, headlined "I hope your venue gets firebombed." The Last Ditch, a lesbian bar in Greenfield, had required a well-fitted KN95 or better at all times. It offered one optional night a week, and the queer community...

"She can go on, what, Tinder? Hinge? Pinterest? Whatever. Wherever the sloop machines aggregate. And she can lay out her wares and say, pull the lever, guys. Maybe you'll get something. Not really." Brian and Alison read another Luke Olinga piece, this one building a case about modern courtship out of a four-line joke that travelled from Turkey to China, Japan and Europe. Also: why her behaviour f...

"How much responsibility do institutions have to take for these women? Do they have to wipe their ass? Warm their botties? Do airplane to give them their squished peas?" Brian and Alison go through the Cornell 7 case — the civil complaint, Cornell's own Title IX timeline, and the New York prosecutor taken off the case after finding nothing actionable under the law as written. And how replacing him...

"Calling people names is not a conviction. It's just an accusation." Brian, Hannah Wallen, Mike Stevenson and Dr Randomercam on HBR News 571 — and Mike dropping out of the call mid-rant. Also: why Chris Hansen's show should perhaps have been called To Catch a Man; the welfare campaign that picked a young white man as its face, and what the statistics would have supported instead; the custodial-par...

"You're not in your feminine era. You're just a slob and a bum." Brian and Alison read an article asking why men no longer approach women, which lists the risks and then tells men to do it anyway — with honesty, courage, and a willingness to be vulnerable. Also: the man catapult, and why nobody proposes dismantling any of it; what's left to bring to a relationship once your side of the ledger is e...

"What can be done to essentially put a condom on this pack of AIDS-infested legislation — to make it as non-dangerous as humanly possible?" Hannah Wallen hosts Talk 417 with Lauren Brooks, Mike Stevenson and Richard the Lionhearted on the assisted dying bill, and the counter-proposal the title is named for: pushing the Overton window toward medically assisted longevity enhancement. MALE. Also: who...

"There's actually a push by feminists now to criminalize being an incel." "So — it's over for me then." Hannah Wallen hosts Talk 416 with Lauren Brooks, Mike Stevenson and Richard the Lionhearted, on the proposal to solve male loneliness by outlawing the men nobody picked. Also: anhedonia, and what it's like to be around someone who needs everyone else to be unhappy too; the stock answers lonely m...

"Throughout all of our history, women have worked. The 50s was an aberration that we're still paying for, because it spawned feminism." "I don't see why we can't simply start the debate by saying feminism wanted to destroy marriage and it succeeded. Now what? Now that we've tried that — can we try not dying as a species?" Brian and Alison watch Rachel Wilson's rematch with NotSoErudite, who spends...

"Empathy was never the problem. Empathy is kind of good — it's difficult to be too empathetic. This is not a result of being too empathetic. It's a result of being too hateful." Brian, Hannah Wallen, Mike Stevenson and Dr Randomercam on Patrick Clancy's 60 Minutes interview, where he answered accusations against him directly — that he was uncaring, unfaithful, or responsible himself. Also: what he...

"Anything that applies any kind of expectation or effort that women have to apply is the manosphere now. Which means the manosphere is life. It's love. It's physics. It's grammar. It's justice. It's kids still being alive to live out their lives." Brian and Alison read "Why the Manosphere Just Won the Lindsay Clancy Debate" by Luke Olinga, published before the jury hung, and work through what he w...

"Moral agency. What women, particularly feminists, seem to be running from like Indiana Jones ran from a fricking boulder." Brian and Alison continue through Rachel Wilson's debate on whether feminism has done more harm than good, as she lays out six pillars of propaganda and introduces a seventh, which she calls the she-conomy. Also: money denominated in debt, for more debt, using debt as collate...

"I've seen a billboard. It's lawyer maxing." Hannah Wallen hosts with Richard the Lionhearted, on a post by Shadowclaw about what happened to a generation of young men once women got picky about who they'd even spend time with — and the reply insisting it was all about sex. Also: why being picky in the eighties and nineties had a rationale; the difference between deserving something and being more...

"It's not normal that we have hours and hours of content analysing what triggers attraction in females." Brian talks to Bradley, co-host with Steven Baskerville of A Male Space, a YouTube channel on men's health, fitness, nutrition, fatherhood and loneliness. Also: his ranking of societies from socially enforced monogamy down to the rampant, unregulated polygamy of today; why he named the channel...

"This isn't even a black pill anymore, folks. It's a pill of a colour that only a mantis shrimp can see. It's ultra-red slash infra-green pilled." Brian, Hannah Wallen and Dr Randomercam on the campaign to identify the holdout juror from the Clancy mistrial, and what anyone is meant to do with his name once they have it. Also: the statue question, and where the logic stops once it starts; what the...

"Let them eat cake — and the cake is destroying the civilization that makes cake." Brian and Alison work through a video by a woman explaining that the birth rate is society's fault, and that women are not incubators for GDP. Also: why a society is meant to make a man's worth legible to women, and how our society does the reverse; and why a man's income decides whether he marries and a woman's dec...

"Women are presenting us with this paradox that we won't have sex with you until a different woman has had sex with you. We won't approve of you until another woman has approved of you. So you go — what do I do then?" Hannah Wallen hosts Talk 414 on a post arguing men need to be more social, and the reaction when they are. Also: why "women don't owe you sex" is not an answer to men being shut out...

"She was a really great mother, and then she was a bad mother when she killed her kids, but then she went back to being a great mother again after that." Brian and Alison talk about the hunt for the holdout juror's identity, and a commentator who reframed the case as being about the women of colour serving time for the same thing. Also: the superchat pointing out that if hormones acquit Lindsay Cl...

"But he had the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children." "By killing her children, she declared herself innocent." "If I had been on that jury, I would have declared the electric chair for Lindsay Clancy and my fellow jurors." Brian and Alison work through NBC Boston's exclusive interview with three of the nine female jurors from the Lindsay Clancy mistrial, a...

"You took the mask off. Now you're mad that men saw and rejected what you showed them. And you can't put the hangover back in the beer bottle." Brian, Hannah Wallen and Dr Randomercam on the mistrial in the Lindsey Clancy case, and a defence attorney who narrowed the holdout juror down to one of three people on air. Also: Gloria Steinem's death at 92 — comparing reactions a year to the day after C...
