You kind of want to shout at the screen, like, don't you know you're six years into a military dictatorship? But they kind of don't, or they don't know what the informal rules of that dictatorship are, even though they're in the middle of it. And then last, I would bring up The Constitutional Bind by Aziz Rana, which is a really big and challenging book, and I'm not sure I...
even understand or agree with all of its arguments. But I bring it up because one of the great book titles on this stuff is Astra Taylor's Democracy May Not Exist, But We'll Miss It When It's Gone, which is... Another great book and worth reading. Another great book and a really clever idea of this kind of paradox of we've never really had a perfect democracy before.

Another great book and a really clever idea of this kind of paradox of we've never really had a perfect democracy before.
and yet there are parts of liberal democracy worth holding onto nonetheless. And I think Rana tries to do this with the Constitution. It's a book that's very, very critical of excessive veneration and worship of the Constitution, and yet he's able to hold onto why it's important to hold onto the parts of the Constitution that can still protect the vulnerable.

And so rather than sort of worshiping the status quo ante and saying it was all perfect before, we can hold onto what we want to preserve while also not fighting the last war.

Thank you so much, Tanya. So good to be back.

Yeah. So just to start from defining terms. So manosphere is, like a lot of internet terms, pretty ill-defined, and it keeps changing. So often, originally, when people used the term, it was for really, really extreme, hateful stuff, right? So it was for... Andrew Tate, who is a proud misogynist, defines himself that way, has been accused of human trafficking. Really, really, really bad dude.

And so often when people talked about the manosphere, they would talk about that. But then it kind of migrated into people who are conservatives on gender roles or who don't even have like gender content that they often bring up, but maybe are just into things that are commonly coded as dude stuff, you know, video games or hunting or lifting weights or whatever. So all of that is kind of

So all of that is kind of
depending on who you're listening to, contained within that category. And there's no reason that the right has a monopoly inherently on being down to earth or being relatable. You know, it's been mentioned many times that people like Bernie Sanders have no problem going onto these shows and, in fact, have been criticized for going onto these shows.

So it's a bit of a caricature, but it's definitely one that's stuck. And I think we can now see in the data it's definitely one that hurt Kamala Harris in the last election.
