0:00.0 | Hi, Benches. We hope you're doing lovely as usual. A little update on our half is that we recently welcomed a new |
0:07.7 | feline, Bestie, and that got us thinking about why men hate cats and why cat hatred is so prevalent. |
0:15.5 | And so we decided to look up some historical roots of kitty prejudice and how that ties into sexism. |
0:23.2 | It was really interesting to research and interesting to talk about, and the full episode will be up on our Patreon, |
0:29.4 | Patreon.com slash Benchtopia, where for only $5 a month, you get access to, I think, seven now bonus episodes, |
0:36.6 | reading lists, live streams, all that good stuff. Um, yeah, so if you want to support us and get more content, |
0:43.4 | there you go. In the meantime, enjoy the teaser. Love you. |

1:36.9 | to eat the meal. Like, are overjoyed. And like, they follow you everywhere. But if you were to, |
1:44.3 | you know, close your space off, they would be understanding and respectful. They want to go wherever |
