To All The Men I've Tolerated

To All The Men I’ve Tolerated Before is your weekly look at everyday misogyny! Host Natalie Katona invites guests on the podcast to chat about their experiences living in a Patriarchal society. The podcast delves into different male tropes the world has had to endure like the sports guy, the toxic boss, or the needy boyfriend. It also allows the guests to delve into how men have affected their comfort levels in the communities they take up space in like the horror genre, professional wrestling, or the military. After the honest, comedic venting, the guest and Natalie will offer up their biggest growth moment from having to tolerate the events they’ve discussed and offer everyone up some great manifestations. Let’s work on a better, inclusive, and safer future for everyone with some radical honesty and less tolerating!

Love is Blind S6 (Part 1)
The Love is Blind reunion has passed and the cast has started to take interviews to tell their side of the story. It is now our turn.

Did he use ChatGPT to script his dates? What is his responsibility to udience members to make me believe he has the emotional investment needed for this kind of experiment?Trevor: Trevor had us heartbroken and ready to root for him. Then, some texts surfaced that made us realize that we had fallen victim to another man’s lies and games.Jessica: We will use Jessica’s story as an avenue to talk about the realities of single mothers who are trying to date and what their place is when it comes to reality tv.The CouplesAmy and Johnny: They offer us a chance to talk about birth control and who is responsible for knowing the most about it in a partnership.Brittany and Kenneth: They gave us a chance to dive into the challenges mixed couples can face early on in their relationship.Chelsea and Jimmy: Insecurities are heightened at the start of a new relationship and we got the chance to talk about the aftermath of being faced with those insecurities.

Incels

Incels
JD Ross (Weirdwide) did in-depth research for an episode on his podcast about incels and incel culture. After listening, Natalie knew this was a topic that needed to be covered because who is a better example of people living comfortably with misogyny than the incels of the internet? JD and Natalie will discuss how the term incel (involuntary celibate) was coined and how forums like Reddit allowed for men who have violent resentment towards women were able to form a community online. The entitlement that is featured in incel men will also be discussed as well as how their culture revolves around fantasies of violence against women, getting even, resenting that they’re undesirable, and sometimes carrying out their violent thoughts.Natalie will also express her fears on how misogynistic or incel mindsets are starting to become mainstream and JD will validate her fear by talking about the well-known men and leaders who help incels perpetuate their warped beliefs.Make sure you have subscribed to us on Patreon!

Diversity in the Board Game Industry
Kervin of For Why Games joins Natalie to talk about his experiences advocating for diversity within board game development. He explains the steps and measures he took to create his first game, Allow Me to Mansplain and the ways he intentionally crafted rules and gameplay to foster discussions around the concept of mansplaining. The episode also dives into what is currently taken into consideration when it comes to diversity in game creation and where we need to head next to make sure gaming is a welcoming place for everyone. Natalie and Kervin also share their personal experiences of wanting a safe, diverse community to play games with and what it's like when you’re having a hard time finding it or you’re not being heard when explaining why the current situation isn’t making you feel safe and welcomed.Make sure you have subscribed to us on Patreon!
