I finally got to sit down and listen to this and jesus fuck. What the hell is wrong with men who think it’s okay to write/say this shit.

The first season of Tempest was one of my favorite listens but I somehow missed season two coming out so I greatly appreciate this. I’m sure this particular episode will be an exasperating listen as it always is when I hear women discuss getting treated like shit for being women, but given the hosts I know it’ll still… Read more

I look forward to listening later tonight.
