26 - And Maybe They'll Listen This Time

The SJW Circle Jerk

It’s the episode where… it’s actually NOT a circle jerk this time?! Ari and Jeremiah discuss #MeToo and its corollary #IHave, and a rift begins to form between the two host humans. Should men share their stories of being victims of sexual assault and harassment under the hashtag, or is it meant strictly for women and trans people? Should men who have perpetrated these acts publicly confess to their crimes, or is that more a form of virtue signaling than a legitimate action for change? Two clashing opinions will be hashed out and fiercely defended, but only one is correct: of course, Ari’s.
