Happy International Men's Day to #NotAllMen.
đ§ NEW PODCAST: Kirsten Drysdale, Kirk Docker, Michael Mazengarb, Lewis Hobba and Dan Ilic
Gâday Fearmongers,
Wishing you all a Happy International Menâs Day to everyone on #teampatriarchy. Weâve had a good run. Pants with pockets, peeing standing up, and 14.2% more money than half the population.
If youâre a man and you listen to A Rational Fear, why not address the balance and chip in 14.2% extra into the A Rational Fear Patreon? We will spend it in ridiculous ways like buying a bunch of hammers to give to men on International Menâs Day.
