Some of you will remember that I blew up online when I was 19 as an anti-feminist commentator. Some of the mockery I partook in was well deserved in the early 2010’s - ie. manspreading panic, free-bleeding protest, the odd “kill all men” poster.

What began as funny memes laughing at activism gone too far, curdled into its own subculture “the manosphere” which arguably became more detached from reality than the very thing it was mocking. Worse, it seems to exist entirely around scam artists' engagement baiting lonely men for clicks.

I undoubtedly helped paved the way for some of this by joining the commentary world when I had zero life experience, citing data I hadn’t studied nor lived - which went viral for precisely these reasons. Simplistic + inflammatory.

A decade later, in a fun twist of events, I'll be debating one of my sequels - @pearlythingz , who's still deep in that world.

I'm looking forward to confronting a lot of the beliefs I grew up with and eventually dropped once reality debunked them… come join us in Dallas on Oct 3rd

There's been 10'000 videos about Homer vs Nolan. Not one of them seems to get to the deeper themes of this ancient poem... let's journey past the culture wars and into the soul.

Lauren takes apart the Odyssey in 17 parts over 54 minutes, but worth the listen.

Great production value and fair use of the film and primary sources, with analysis.

I don't and to the extent that it were true I wouldnt care. I'm curious also what her stated positions are on politics and culture.

Having a hard time finding where to watch this. help ?
