It’s hard to talk to girls when you’re the worst
We’re finally tackling the male loneliness crisis at “Standing Room Only.” I’m not here to debunk it. It’s obvious that a lot of young men aren’t doing well. But I am here to argue we are ignoring the real issues.
It’s not women’s fault. It’s not caused by video games. It is, however, happening partly because many young men are wallowing in a sea of right-wing propaganda that teaches them to hate women and act like jackasses. No wonder no one wants to be around them!
OnlyFans models aren’t the bad guys
My guest this week is Michael Hayden, a far-right researcher and author of the new book, “Strange People on the Hill.” In this clip, we talk about the far right’s hateful fixation on women who create erotic content on OnlyFans, and how disingenuous those attacks are.
