Haha that's pretty long tbh and I'm quite busy.
I've watched snippets of the interview you refer to though not in its entirety. From what I remember, he seems to question the existence of a patriarchy, since there are many disadvantages that men face.
I don't really see him as a misogynist tbh. He claims to have helped several women advance their careers in the past, and his lectures don't reveal any misogynistic tendencies.
I think some people who think that (not aimed at you btw) are referring to his interview with Kathy Newman on Channel 4 where she constantly tried to trip him up and pigeon hole him, and he refused to take the bait.

Yeah, I saw that. Absolute car crash of an interview.
Don't get me wrong, he seems like an intelligent guy, but I don't agree with his core beliefs.
I say all this though as someone who doesn't know him extensively, so don't want to get in an argument with anyone.
The vibe I get from him has always made me uneasy so I never really explored his work.

Fair enough
You know he was apparently in an induced coma in a hotel in Moscow last year? He's struggled mentally and had depression I think. Was fighting for his life I believe.
hospital I mean, not hotel

I had no idea mate. Just read he had Covid as well. Not been a great couple of years for him.
Surely it's only a matter of time before the virus mutates and the new strain is in these countries anyway. At least we have been vaccinating our population while the EU has dithered, sooner we are rid of that shower the better.
