Episode 309: Divide and conquer

In this sponsored episode, I talk about the failure of a bill legislating the creation of a state commission on men’s and boy’s issues from receiving a hearing on the floor of the Washington state House of Representatives for the second year in a row -- despite being authored by two women and enjoying bipartisan support. I discuss why that might be the case, including: the common misconception that men and women’s success is a zero sum game, and the usefulness of fomenting animosity between the sexes.
