Good overall, but takes a “blame men first” (feminist) spin
Things I like about the show: -victim statements and stories -data and anecdotes from professionals about the sex trade (eg from law enforcement agencies, researchers) -education about the consequences and effects of participation in sec trade, from short-term (eg jail) to long-term Things I suggest for show-runners to improve: -zoom out from your focus on porn/sex-addicted men to understand more of the cultural/socioeconomic factors behind sex trade -acknowledge modern feminism as a driver behind the sex trade and sexualized content, like the “sex work is work” mantra. Modern/radical feminism encourages women of all ages to objectify themselves or sell themselves (eg on OnlyFans) on platforms that hijack men’s brains and manipulate their emotions. -dive deeper into the effects of technology on content addiction and dehumanization - why is OF so successful? -be aware of the constant finger-wagging on male behavior that in some cases is completely natural (eg wanting to have sex). The “she is not your rehab” was particularly nails on a chalkboard, having to listen to the male sexual abuse survivor spoken to in such a patronizing/condescending tone by his wife/girlfriend. Imagine role reversal, with a man/husband telling a female SA survivor how she needs to cope and heal. -explore the impacts of fathers in the home and father-daughter relationships. The studies show that active fathers in the home are the best indicators of longterm health by any definition for the children/women. Overall: I wish this show the best but advise not using feminism to try to solve the issue of trafficking when feminism/anti-male sentiment is part of the cause.

It is a breath of fresh air to be able to listen and learn about the harmful, toxic effects of pornography from an unbiased and facts-based organization.

Only one episode in and the discussion is great. It’s impactful, relevant, and, sadly, needed. I love what Fight the New Drug is doing and I learned even more of what they offer and what their mission is through this podcast. I look forward to the coming episodes.
