Misogyny, Gatekeepers, and the War on Kindness

Hello Everyone!My conversations with Will always represent the turning point of the week. After Wednesday, I pivot to movies with Ben Ulansey and then the Friday rant with Shane Yirak and Arturo Dominguez.2025 has been an exhausting year. I’m ready for it to be over, but I appreciate how much I’ve learned and all the good people I’ve met. I finally had an opportunity to sit down with Cryn Johannsen. She’s a brilliant writer and you’d all be well served by subscribing.Much of our conversation was inspired by this article, though I don’t think we addressed it directly:Cryn is also great because she posts routine reminders that nobody should be financially supporting millionaires on Substack. Slowly, that message is getting through. But people like Will, Cryn and I remain on the fringes in danger of getting swallowed up.As always, thanks for listening! I hope you enjoyed this talk.
