Part one of a two-part episode with special guest Angela Aylward, a sociologist with a focus of study on culture in insular groups. We delve deep into the uncomfortable topic of sexual assault, walking through the phenomenon step by step and discussing the issues that arise around it. In this portion of the conversation, we discuss common responses people have to hearing accusations of sexual assault or harassment, explain the "missing stair" analogy, and have a very basic discussion about handling sexual assault in gaming communities. Part two is available now as an early release on our Patreon: www.patreon.com/whorestoculture
