#783 Humans are just terrible

Pretty much all humans are terrible but today we're focusing on the men. Those who harass women on the street, those who commit acts of sexual violence against women and those who, knowingly or unknowingly, help perpetuate the rape culture and power dynamics that make it all seem acceptable.

I operate a new, liberal, internet radio station called “Breitbart’s Inferno.” Who can I talk to regarding gaining permission to rebroadcast your fine podcast on a daily basis?

Fabulous episode Jay. Now please do the same for domestic violence, especially as committed by law enforcement officers and covered up by same and judges. We need your help Jay. We are never free. We are forced into joint custody with the abuser. The children are exposed to the violence. The cycle continues. YOU DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
