This time around we examine toxic masculinity with Thomas Smith of such podcasts as Serious Inquiries Only. We explore the differences between biological distinctions from gender norms, the roles it can negatively impact young boys, how we can fight against it, and probably the most socially obvious manifestations in sports including MMA.  We don't have a hero of the week because it was either cut that or remove roughly 10 minutes from the main segment, and we opted for the very engaging conversation about toxic masculinity.

In this weeks podcast, we're joined by Ris and Bethany of the Inciting Incident Podcast. Here we discuss what a purist position is, how it relates to politics and social issues, and how it can be damaging. We compare it to a pragmatist point-of-view.
