| 0:00.0 | Hi friends, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Nina Power. She's a social |
| 0:05.5 | theorist, philosopher and an author. Between in-sales and toxic masculinity, man spreading, |
| 0:11.6 | man explaining, me too, migtow, red pill and men's rights, working out what men want |
| 0:17.7 | from life, is a question that both men and women are struggling with. Nina is trying |
| 0:22.0 | to work out whether men have a firm place to stand in the modern world anymore, and why |
| 0:26.5 | masculinity is under attack. Expect to learn, Nina's post-mortem on men's role in society, |
| 0:32.7 | how masculinity's crisis hurts women and their future prospects too. Why Nina disagrees with |
| 0:38.4 | modern feminism as a long-standing second-wave feminist philosopher, how we got to the stage, |
| 0:43.4 | where fear and mistrust of men is so widespread, why nofap ended up becoming called a hate group, |
| 0:51.6 | whether the sexual revolution was a good thing and much more. I really, really enjoyed this |

| 1:14.4 | and there's a question to do with women as well. What does it mean to be a woman in 2022? |
| 1:19.3 | Women are becoming more masculinized and men are becoming more feminized, and no one really |
| 1:23.8 | understands what their role is anymore, and it's only by having conversations like this that we |
| 1:28.7 | actually get to hear another side. We actually get to work out that it's possible to have a |
| 1:33.8 | conversation about this, which is subtle and nuanced and understanding. Yeah, I really hope that |
| 1:38.7 | you enjoy this one. In other news, this episode is brought to you by The Weight. The Weight is a |
| 1:43.8 | film about an aging weightlifter that struggles through injury, loss, and unrequited love to strive |
| 1:48.6 | for one last chance at Olympic glory. Casey Murray is a former junior world champion coming to the |
| 1:53.4 | end of his weightlifting career, battling injuries, the urge to take PEDs and his grieving father and |
