The backlash to sexual liberalism is here. Using Youtuber Logan Paul's recent experience of online trolling that has broken the internet, this episode discusses the shift from Millennial 'sex positivity' to its reversal now captivating Gen-Z, with women's value measured by their sexual discretion, rather than how sexually available they are (and how this is a wider contextual shift from modern leftwing patriarchy to traditional rightwing patriarchy). That includes the end of the concept 'slut shaming' and the new incredibility of the 'slut walks' only 10 years ago. This turn is in part due to the popularity of Red Pill online content that draws on neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, and mysticism. A highly critical appraisal of the worth of neuroscience and evolution in regard to psychology forms the mid-section of this episode. That leads to a discussion of this summer's Adam22 'cuck porn' incident and how turning wives and girlfriends into capital through digital pimping is becoming considered obscene and a way for even a rich or famous man to fail and become a 'sexual loser'.
The episode ends with exploring the meaninglessness of the term 'pretty', and yet more discussion of British culture, specifically the inability to take compliments and the knee-jerk reaction of considering any reference to sex as comical.
