They explore how patriarchy rewards emotional avoidance, suppresses vulnerability, and creates men who are deeply disconnected from themselves while still demanding access to women’s labor, bodies, care, and compassion. The conversation also examines how these unresolved patterns show up in dating, relationships, power, sexuality, and male entitlement. But first, in Tea Time, Lisa and Sovereign discuss the Lindy West controversy, react to a viral video breaking down the roots of male violence, and unpack Druski’s viral skit parodying Erika Kirk.
