Sigma Males

from The Chicago Maroon

That infamous sigma male face. Sure, it is often used ironically. But maybe it has a deeper significance. What could it reflect about socio-sexual hierarchies? How could it tie into other cultural movements? And what could be learned from understanding which demographics identify with it? In their first podcast for The Maroon, hosts Cherie Fernandes and Nicolas Posner examine the cult following of Patrick Bateman, a fictional (and murderous) banker and archetype of the sigma male, and what it reveals about society at large. Hosted by: Cherie Fernandes and Nicolas Posner Edited by: Gregory Caesar
