This week, we take stock of a week that had plenty to celebrate, and of course to interrogate. The Matildas are in the Women's Asian Cup final on home soil, and Kyle Sandilands has been officially terminated by ARN after nearly three decades on Australian radio. Then the bigger stories: the Trump delegation's humiliating defeat at the UN's Commission on the Status of Women, the double threat of ageism and AI facing women over 50, and Louis Theroux's manosphere doco, including what it gets right, what it misses, and why the real story is about who is harvesting boys' attention, and why. Stories discussed this week include Matildas / Women's Asian Cup final Kyle Sandilands terminated CSW70 / Trump delegation Women over 50, ageism and AI Theroux / manosphere, "misses the story" The manosphere and boys in an attention economy Hosted on Acast.
