Here’s what offends me, and should be offending you, too. It’s also your country.
1) losers inciting insurrection and goading the VP to violate the Constitution

3) felons putting their child and spouse in the White House as “advisors,” and putting a foreigner in charge of randomly gutting education, healthcare, research, and more
4) idiots who won’t release their grades because they’re poor hiring into office undereducated inexperienced unqualified toadies who give ludicrous advice that kills Americans
5) draft dodgerss sending armed masked unidentified untrained troops into American cities to threaten, injure, and kill the citizens he had sworn to protect

I'm going to put this here... because I don't have a better idea.

Here is a gift link to the NY Times discussion 

Did Liberal Feminism Ruin the Workplace?

And if so, can conservative feminism fix it?

It's the origin story (in many respects) for Woke-ism, and these 2 women (so far in my listening) have nailed the stresses experienced on the male side of the equation. 

It starts a bit slow, but when the banter between the two guests picks up around 10 mins in.... it's a really good summation (IMO) of how woke spiraled out of control, and why so many on the right rejected it (for good reason).

Kurt... I'd be really interested in your thoughts (I appreciate it's an hour...but...).  I'm only 20 mins in, but I'm going to guess that you will agree with the positions taken by the guests.

NOTE:  I put the gift link here because I like the video option.  I was listening on Spotify, and decided to view it instead.
