In show 40, Tara visits the office of Dr. Arpita Chakraborty (or does she)? Arpita is with the School of Law and Government at DCU and is part of the Ireland India Institute. What makes her, as she self-describes, a "GIF-obsessed feminist killjoy"? In Arpita's office (or is it?) she and Tara discuss masculinism and toxic masculinity. Why is it so often interpreted as 'masculinity is toxic'? Arpita sets us straight, with milk and cake. They talk representation, changes in Ireland, and possible echoes in the experiences of the Dalit caste in India and the travelling community here. And Arpita digs deep with spoilers* into certain character arcs on Game of Thrones and *that* controversial episode. Which, of course, is the really important stuff. (Handle dragons with care.)

*To avoid GOT spoilers, if you're behind, skip minute 30 to 34
