Episode 402: Politics and sexual withholding (why it doesn't work)

This podcast episode discusses the speaker's personal experience of dating a librarian who emphasizes the importance of reading books by female authors. The speaker expresses their preference for reading based on personal interest rather than the gender of the author and their reluctance to actively champion social causes that do not align with their own interests. The conversation takes a turn when the woman perceives the speaker's response as unacceptable, leading to a discussion on the influence of sex as a political act. The section also explores the dynamics of women's role in shaping social policy through sexual access.
