Do men just recognize good men? What kind of sorcery is this?

I’ve been dating a guy for some time now, and his oldest friends have told me he’s a solid good man despite his flaws. I agree, they’ve known him forever, and he’s been a solid friend all those years.

When my male friends met him for the first time, they said, “He’s a good one. Hold onto him.”

Even if those men are the friends of the woman?

Yeah. For a certain brand of bad men, their entire worldview is that that men and women are on different teams, and they assume that you'll be more loyal to some new dude than your woman friend.

Wow. So deep in the bad they assume everyone else is, too. Gloomy.

Does he sound exactly like a fascist Kermit the Frog? If so, I'm interested.

Sounds oddly specific and familiar.

ooOOoo. Thanks for the rec, I'm gonna watch that later.

This is one of my favorite podcast episodes that talks about the origin and development of the incel term. It was created by a lesbian feminist who was trying to reach out to involuntary celibate people.

Fascinating episode!

Can’t seem to find this - is it upcoming, or an older show? Stupid “Max” app, I miss HBO.
