why aren’t we duct taping men more
<p>A man got duct-taped to his airplane seat, and honestly? Feminism is healing.</p><p>This week, we’re getting into that, paying tribute to the icon Gloria Steinem, and revisiting her wildest undercover stunts, funniest quotes, and her theory that patriarchy is still a prison for men, it's just “cushy.” Plus: Phoebe Bridgers’ leg hair, why the queer <em>Ultimatum</em> is infinitely more watchable, what’s actually behind the orgasm gap, and our boy problem of the week: <strong>why do I only want men who are already taken?</strong></p><p><br /></p><p>If you love the show, subscribe and leave a review.
