Philosophy Club Afterthoughts! Mansplaining

About this episode

Kyra and Mackenzie discuss the implications of the term 'Mansplaining' and its impact on conversations about gender and culture.

In this first of its kind episode, Kyra and Mackenzie revisit the "Mansplaining" episode of Philosophy club. Mackenzie initially argues against the usefulness of the term and bemoans that the label Mansplaining tends to end conversations and close minds. Kyra counters that the label Mansplaining contributes to an ongoing journey of cultural self-discovery. Kyra refers to Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s idea: "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."
