Special mention to Douglas Murray and Brendan O’Neill too, both semi regular guests on Triggernometry who have also been through the journey in real time, in public.
Obvs all the women speaking out are the real sheroes here but for very good reasons (keeping jobs, avoiding rape threats, not being disowned by our own teens etc) women tend not to speak about this topic until they are absolutely sure about what they want to say, we don’t get to spectate their journey into understanding the issues in the same way.
I’ve time stamped the relevant bit in the Zuby video (there is a bit before that is about going viral and the extent of mainstream attention Zuby garnered from it)
link to the tweet that they are talking about (inc. 9 second video):
twitter.com/ZubyMusic/status/1100348562041462784
link to episode:
(approx 15:02:00)
In the time stamped section Zuby says that the time of the tweet, he had 19,000 Twitter followers, a couple of months later, when the episode was filmed, he was up to 40,000.
I just checked and he’s now at a million Twitter followers.
