Welcome to Sons of Patriarchy, a podcast devoted to understanding how men and women get caught up in the systems of patriarchy, Christian nationalism, and the far right.

be kind of fun. Because we've talked about surfacy level stuff before, but now we're going to kind of get

nerdy on this stuff and really look at some of the trends. But it's a pleasure having you on, Dr. Stodzer, to talk about all this stuff. Thanks for coming on. Thanks for having me. I'm really excited to have this conversation. Yeah, of course. We had a pre-mead up last week. Sometimes we do this with our guests.
