Not Self-Aware

“The hosts make a lot of jokes about the idea that as two men maybe they aren’t the best ones to discuss women’s issues and feminist theory, but the awkward truth is that they’re right. Their episode on The Game was ultimately a discussion of a book about predatory behavior where the hosts sympathized with the predators and not their targets or victims, while managing to dramatically underestimate the damage of the PUA movement and downplaying it as a niche philosophy rather than identifying it as a radicalization pipeline. Now their newest episode involves Peter confidently explaining that unlike himself feminist scholars simply don’t understand the true causes of gendered violence, and that had to be the limit for me. The staggering lack of self awareness and absence of any humility gives me too much secondhand embarrassment, I have to get off the train here. I admire their confidence but it’s not a replacement for education and ultimately fumbling a classic like The Game that badly shows they’re not able to contribute any novel or insightful perspectives on issues they lack firsthand experience with.”

“Love the smart minds on this podcast! Also the personalities and humor of the hosts makes it sorta silly while exploring serious subject matter”
