Episode notes

The YPJ was founded as strictly a women's organization in April 2013. It's an all female militia involved in the Syrian Civil War. The YPJ is part of the Syrian Democratic Forces, the armed forces of Rojava and is closely affiliated with the male led Rojava. So they're a group of bad-ass women just from like personal perspective. Have you met any in real life? Kind of by proxy. I can't really get into it, but just say I cannot confirm or deny.

We discuss the latest school shooting in the context of male violence, the merit of female gun ownership in protecting ourselves from domestic violence, Elle's favorite serial killer, proportionate force between men and women, and ponder the limitations of the second amendment.
