Serious Inquiries Only - SIO84: Interview with Jessica Xiao; Sargon’s Persecution Complex

Today's episode is a bit of a double feature. First up is a conversation with feminist writer Jessica Xiao! Jessica had a post about male feminists that I found very interesting and I'm so glad she agreed to come on to talk about it. We also discuss her background and where she sees herself (if at all) within the atheist movement. Check out Jessica's website for more about her and her writing! After that, I break down just how much dishonesty and victim complex there is in a video Sargon made about me. I wouldn't bother, except that it so perfectly encapsulates why Sargon and his followers feel so persecuted all the time. Leave Thomas a voicemail! (916) 750-4746, remember short and to the point!
