Do I have men? Should you? Yes. No. Maybe. Misogynist men love to weaponize false claims of misandry against women. In fact, one of the clearest signs that a man is a misogynist is that he thinks misandry is real, common, and a threat.
Jeff and I have wanted to talk about bogus claims of misandry for a long time. Here’s the result.
Some of the many topics we talk about in this podcast include:

Why we need to stop saying “sexual coercion” or “obligatory sex” and start calling it rape.
The history of the term “misandrist,” and why it’s always been a part of bad faith arguments against women’s rights.
Does Zawn hate men? (Jeff’s answers: “No. Yes. Not all men.”)
Why so many men see movements for women’s rights as a threat.
Why men who actually like women are unthreatened by feminism.
Men’s frustration at having to actually work for things.
Jeff on the most pathetic kind of sex anyone can have.
Why misandry can never be analogous to misogyny.
The disparity between Zawn and Jeff’s experiences complaining about poor medical care.
Why men are so committed to wasting so much of women’s time.

We end with our new feature, the Liberating Motherhood Complaint Box. This is where we address the whining, bloviating nonsense your husbands tell you about my podcast specifically, or feminism more generally. It culminates in Zawn referring to a man as a “loser bitch.”
Make your partner’s ignorance famous, and subject him to my judgment! You can submit your own complaint for next month’s complaint box here. Please only use this form to submit complaints from men specifically about feminism or my podcast—not general complaints, not general questions, not general messages for me.
If you need to contact me for something else, you can find forms for just about everything on the Liberating Motherhood website.
The full results of the survey I mention will be available to paid subscribers September 9, 2025.
We have new kittens, and they currently live in my office, which they are destroying. They are aspiring misandrists, and were quite interested in the podcast. For this reason, you’ll hear some background noises.
