EPISODE 13: 'He's So Homosocial'

This week our Chief Feminist Operative reads her latest article ‘He’s So Homosocial’, and talks to Chief Managing Feminist Erin Whiteley. We discuss the toxicity of men who do not like women, the importance of female friendships for all genders, and whether these attributes are learnt or inherent in the male biology. In this short podcast we hope to teach our listeners to open up conversations about the role of genders in friendships, to question the toxicity of Homosocial men & influence those to truly appreciate the women in their life.
