Taylor Frankie Paul, Another Duggar, The Manosphere, Age of Attraction and More with Halley Sutton

Episode Notes

Halley broke the news to me that The Bachelorette was cancelled after the video of Taylor Frankie Paul was sold to TMZ, so we start off right in the mess of pop culture.  Listen for our thoughts on:

• Cancellation/pause of The Bachelorette starring Taylor Frankie Paul due to domestic violence allegations
• Ethics of airing real-life trauma and abuse on reality TV
• Trad wife culture vs. reality of women as breadwinners
• Religious conditioning and spiritual bypassing
• Purity culture and its connection to shame and abuse
• Grift culture (influencers, politics, capitalism)
• Age of Attraction's age gap dating approach
• The Manosphere - when men become obsessed with the male gaze
• Incel/red pill ideology as a bid for connection
• Some movies, TV shows and books we've loved recently
