Elizabeth Holmes Is Literally Just a Man
I watched Nathan Fielder's Elizabeth Holmes movie so you don't have to, and honestly? It's not a documentary. It's a three-hour masterclass in manipulation and I know I'm going to make enemies by saying that out loud. I also read an entire Reddit thread about why I suck (self-harm behavior, truly), so we're getting into my most controversial take on men yet. If you have thoughts on the Nathan Fielder movie or our boy problem of the week, I genuinely want to hear from you!

The Strongest Men I Know are Women
This week on Boy Problems, Liz is angry — and she's not apologizing for it. In the wake of the Cornell 57 case, she breaks down why women's rage is no longer remarkable, but the absence of male rage absolutely is. She recounts a wild story from a recent conference where she was asked to moderate a panel on "raising boys into better men" — only to flip the script, give the women in the room (including Malala) an hour of rest, and grill the men instead. Ten years after starting #WhyWomenDontReport, Liz grapples with how little has changed, has a literal menty-b mid episode, and finds unexpected solace in the strength of women and the men who actually show up. If this hit you, drop a 🔥 in the comments — and tell us how you're channeling your rage this week.
