The Feminine Weapon with Christina Weber
Christina Weber is no stranger to controversy. When she chose “For the Love of Men” as the theme of 2018’s Feminine Weapon Day, she rocked the feminist online community. In the wake of #MeToo, Christina decided that, rather than call out the men who were messing up, she’d lift up the men who were doing things right. This week, we discuss her radical approach to solving gender politics, and the new dating company her theories about love and gender have inspired.

In our most heated conversation yet, Indiana lawyer Nick Plopper and comedian, podcaster, and #MenAreScum advocate Robert Clarke-Chan discuss men’s responses to the #MeToo movement, and their responsibilities as advocates for women. We don’t always see eye-to-eye in this complex discussion of “Family Values”, feminism, and privilege, but it’s the type of conversation that feels extra important during such divisive times.
