YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThere's a new man in town: the "performative male." Is he trying to trick you into thinking he's open-minded, or does he really like reading books and drinking matcha? We're breaking down what's gender performance and what's gender manipulation.
In this episode, Brittany is joined by Manny Fidel () , host of No Such Thing () , and James Factora () , staff writer for Them. They get into what makes a "performative male" and why criticism of them is a sign that some liberals are guilty of gender policing.
