Be well, and I hope you love the show today.
So whenever I make one of these things, my absolute worst nightmare is for you to come out on the other side of the episode
having not learned anything, having never questioned what you already
thought you knew about whatever topic we 're discussing that week.
Now, this is a pretty easy task to accomplish,
and we 're just talking about some obscure Neoplatonist philosopher, right?
I mean, short of you being somebody that scrubs toilets at a Neoplatonist museum every day,
there 's probably going to be some sort of novelty you can get out of that episode.
But topics like the one we're going to be talking about today are a little bit more.
Difficult because when it comes to a topic that 's as ubiquitous as feminism is Each and every person
listening already has their own ideas.
They already have their own snapshot of what feminism is based on all the prior
experiences they 've had with it throughout their life.
And what makes it even more difficult is that there 's not many people out there that are just sort of ambivalent
about the topic, excited to hear about it.
Fact is, everyone listening to this right now currently has a very personal relationship with feminism.
And most of the time, feminism is either your best friend in the world or one of your worst enemies.
So for the sake of the episode today, Just like when we do one of these episodes on God,
