About this episode

The episode explores the complexities of platonic friendships between men and women and their implications for egalitarianism in solarpunk culture.

In this essay, I question whether men and women can ever truly be "just" friends. Research seems to suggest that women can, but men can't. How can friendship work when so many men would fuck all their friends? Think about what this says about the limits to egalitarianism in a solarpunk culture.
