Hello friends, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Mary Harrington, she's a writer and

contributing editor at Unheard. It's hard to say that either men or women have a firm place to

stand right now. The age-old wisdom, which both groups traditionally relied on, is out of the

window, and were tick-tock dancing our way through an existential apocalypse, where girl bosses and

men going their own way battled out for nihilistic supremacy. I wanted Mary to help me conduct a post-mortem.

Expect to learn why the porn you start out watching is going to lead you down a dark rabbit hole.

How the introduction of the pill led to fewer weddings and more awkward situations for women,

It will sign you up to my three-minute Monday newsletter as well, that's chriswix.com-books.

making you just feel more awake and alert and in a better mood throughout the day. The cold

plunge is safe for indoor or outdoor use, and installation is truly plug it in, and you can begin

to use it. You fill your plunge up with a hose, turn it on, set your temperature down to 39 degrees
