What would PvI be with zero masculine energy? This episode features your usual co-host Mary Hynes and our frequent guest Jennifer Hansen (philosopher at St. Lawrence University). They have a one-on-one chat about being hot in a hostile world, interacting with AI, fighting with parrots, and they act out scenes involving the f*cks store and the actress who is too perfect. There is a lot of reclaiming one’s power and rejecting negativity and other things perhaps anathema to Mark’s sensibility, but you should tell us what YOU think.

Image Note: This was a silly idea of Mark’s prior to the actual recording, which should perhaps better be called “Tall Poppies,” or something like that, but it seems a legit feminist point to make that a la “Ms. Pac-Man,” there’s a weird presumption that non-human cartoon characters are by default male, and that the female product thus must be indicated by the addition of a feminine-coded cosmetic element.
