Content warning: discussion of eating disorders and school shootings, also the usual content warning for discussion of sexual violence

In today's episode (sadly without Jackal), we tackle gender and discuss the Boston Strangler: the real life case, the 2023 film, and an SVU episode vaguely about the subject ("...Or Just Look Like One," S1E3). This is the end of our two part-er on the Boston Strangler. You can check out part one here.
