About this episode
<p>The allegations against Harvey Weinstein have opened the floodgates for women in other industries and walks of life to go public with claims of sexual misconduct—and to be heard instead of dismissed. Ronan Farrow, who broke the Weinstein story for <em>The New Yorker</em>, shares his perspective on the fallout with the staff writer Alexandra Schwartz.

If we don’t understand the male psyche and how we deform it, hooks argues, we will never solve the problem.</p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
