Brooke Baldwin

Like I love, I love, uh, I'm from the South too.

You know, like I love a good, strong strapping man.

I love some vast masculinity and some strength, but I was just saying to my former partner, you know, today on the phone, I was like, I love you vulnerable.

I love you.

You know, show me that side of you.

I know you're tough.

I know you can carry the weight of the world on your shoulders.

It takes more strength to show that.

Yes.

yes so permission for men to to to be all that they are and i think with porn i think it is so prolific especially with like without we gotta say younger folks but i think it's just everywhere all the time all at once i think the issue with porn too is the algorithm you know it's like i

i'm not a this is my tech impersonation oh you're into this like i'm gonna feed you this and this and this and then it's gonna get even creepier and even creepier and then creepier crawls into the crime and that somehow needs to get fixed and my hope is that good journalists will then through exposing stories like this and through literally crime being uploaded to the internet and thousands of men coaching one another like it i was talking to a therapist and he was saying it's it's it's a lot of it is about belonging i think this

speaks to also the culture of men and the women making these strides the men it's a it's a it's a lack of identity structure it's a belonging issue and so it's collective abuse they're all in on it and literally on this website the reporter was explaining to me you know if you upload x number of

sleep content you know videos you get like extra stars on your profile so it's like a dopamine hit sense of belonging jesus and collective abuse

I am I think my emotion is coming because I've never spoken about it out loud.

And I really am grateful to you the timing of all of this.

I didn't mean for any of this to happen.

But um, you know, it's it's wild when so I was on I anchored my show on CNN for so so so long and I was hosting my show.

It was 2018 when Dr. Christine Blasey Ford was testifying.

And I mean, if we remember to that time, like the country came to a standstill.

Like, we were wall to wall on this coverage as she was testifying against the then nominee for the Supreme Court.
