Today I want to explore the fine line between "that's just the way I am" and "I genuinely can't do this any differently". Where does "I struggle with social awareness" begin and "I don't care about others" begin? For this exploration we will study the characters of Paris Geller and Louis Litt, with some personal interjections as the resident loud mouth autistic girl that everyone on the internet loves to hate.

Episode Title: Woke Culture Is The New Christianity

Release Date: October 10th 2024
Episode Summary:
Today we delve into the parallels between woke culture and Western Christianity, exploring how both function as moral policing systems, examing the human urge to "judge" others in an attempt to gain self-esteem by adhering to hierarchical structures.
Woke culture, which originally aimed to promote inclusion and protect marginalized communities, has evolved into a mechanism for social validation and superiority—much like Christianity's historical influence on social norms and power structures.
Touching on themes of extremism, the weaponization of morality, and how both conservative and liberal ideologies have fueled a feedback loop of conflict, Roxz also critiques how woke culture has strayed from its revolutionary roots and how the internet has exacerbated these dynamics.
Drawing parallels between church hierarchies in marginalized communities and modern woke culture, Kady opens up a difficult conversation about the societal need for self-righteousness and control.

Podcast Show Notes Summary
Episode Title: Why Men Use Their Pain To Side With Power & The Abandonment of Boys
Episode Overview: In this episode, we delve into the complexities of societal conditioning, self-awareness, and oppression. The host, KadyRoxz, begins with a vivid, symbolic monologue excerpt from her book The Consequence of Girlhood, that explores navigating the idea that we’ve been conditioned to ignore our bodies’ natural wisdom from a young age in an attempt to prepare us to submit to oppressive systems. This theme of internal wisdom versus societal programming runs throughout the episode, exploring how we are taught to prioritize external approval over self-preservation and the way this (inter-sectionalism) divides the collective by incentivizing each group to hyper focus on their own oppression and belittle the suffering of those below them.
The episode also challenges listeners to reconsider how social systems oppress everyone differently, illustrating that while both men and women are harmed by these structures, the nature and degree of harm are unequal. Intersectionality plays a key role in understanding how different identity markers influence one’s social and economic standing, using examples to show the nuanced ways we’re ranked within societal power structures.

They stress the importance of looking up, forward, and being aware of how we may unknowingly participate in the very systems that oppress us.

Too often our desire to create rule of thumbs about what type of person is safe and what type of person is dangerous becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy that leads us to the exact danger we sought to avoid.
Today we’re exploring the logical fallacies associated with perceiving “childish men” as safer than hyper-masculine “alpha males”.
We’ll also discuss:
Why you can’t “speed run” getting to know someone Why purposely not talking to a dating option isn’t “playing games”
Why its problematic to conflate hyper masculinity with violence and overlook the dangers of a purposely curated “childish” persona
And on Patreon we’ll cover:
How domestic work is used as a tool of abuse
The oppressive nature of viewing children as objects of joy
How women gaslight themselves into accepting discomfort and disrespect in relationships
How women use their emotionally available friends as life rafts to endure inconsiderate men (instead of leaving)
And more…
