You're listening to serious inquiries only. Oh, Hello and welcome to serious inquiries. This is episode 113.

I'm your host Thomas Smith.

All right, today is that conversation,

I think I promised earlier, that is about the Aziz-Ansari

article, an incident, and talking about kind of where it falls on the spectrum of Me Too things.

Does it belong there etc? I wanted to find some people who disagreed and I did I found some great

participants who are willing to you know put their opinions on the line in what can be

a very very divisive topic and I really thank them for that.

At times the conversation can be you know awkward messy that kind of thing but I think that

is very indicative of how neglected this area is in conversation.

I think there's a lot of anger and a lot of, very justified anger by the way,

and there's a lot of

defensiveness and I think the more we can talk it through

uh... as messy as it can be i think that'll be the better

for raising all of our understanding.

So with that said let's get to my panelists here and let's get to the discussion. I'm joined right now by listener Chris I'm told you're just a dude just a guy and I'm told you're just a dude. Just a dude. Just a guy. And I'm also joined by Godless Mama on

Twitter. That is Tracy. How you doing Tracy? I'm doing great. How are you?

Doing good. I'm thank you guys so much. I'm really interested in this conversation. I know a lot of people are as well.

I think that, you know, I'm, as you likely know, I'm a big supporter of me too and I also think that with

how divided we are on the internet and in society, I think it's just more conversations about this

are better than fewer because it's trying to bring everybody along with the right

lessons of this moment I think is really important.
