In brief: At far too long last, toxic masculinity expert Imran Siddiquee is back on the show! We dive into what feeds the patriarchy and how it manifests, shading everything we see and do with a particular mindset. The veneration of fatherhood is especially problematic, providing cover for male-presenting abusers of many types — in Imran’s Buzzfeed essay, R. Kelly and Michael Jackson are used as well-known examples. As always, we tangent and meander through related topics, bringing it all full circle at the close. Enjoy!
