Summary

Today's episode is a bit of a double feature. First up is a conversation with feminist writer Jessica Xiao! Jessica had a post about male feminists that I found very interesting and I'm so glad she agreed to come on to talk about it. We also discuss her background and where she sees herself (if at all) within the atheist movement. Check out Jessica's website for more about her and her writing! After that, I break down just how much dishonesty and victim complex there is in a video Sargon made about me. I wouldn't bother, except that it so perfectly encapsulates why Sargon and his followers feel so persecuted all the time. Leave Thomas a voicemail! (916) 750-4746, remember short and to the point!

0:55.1	that actually shares a common theme
0:57.4	with a lot of what Jessica says.
0:59.8	So that is a perfect transition.
1:02.1	And then also, actuallyargon made a video about me and he got
1:07.5	nearly every factual question involved wrong and I think it perfectly encapsulates why I'm on the side I'm on and in my view
1:16.6	why people like him are on the side they're on. So that's my little agenda for
1:21.6	today. Let's get over to my interview with Jessica Shao, how's it going?
