This is a recording of our Twitter Space from 25 July, 2023. Pls excuse the sound quality, it is a live event via the phone app so the recording isn’t usual podcast quality. Me & Jack from IDSG, as well as several lovely listeners, chat about Barbie and the *highly entertaining* rightwing outrage surrounding the movie. We discuss The Culture War more broadly, fairytales, ‘man-products’, “go woke go broke” & much, much more. I thoroughly enjoy speaking with listeners from around the world at these Spaces, if you’d like to participate in a future Space, pls subscribe via patreon.com/NiceMangos or follow me on Twitter (yes I’m still calling it that) (@nicemangos), where I announce upcoming Spaces.

This is part 2 of the previous episode. If you haven’t checked that out yet, I recommend you listen to that first. ——Enjoy another serving of big-brained Evolutionary Psychology takes with our guide, Mr. @evopsychgoogle. In this part we discuss how biology and ‘science’ have been invoked, historically, to keep groups oppressed, whether evopsych is based on a flawed framework or if its just an unfortunate coincidence that it tends to attract people with reactionary views. We also chat about race science in evopsych, the fixation on menstrual cycles, and many more high-level ideas.
