Why Do Women Love Being Redpilled?

THE POLYESTER PODCAST
About this episode

Is the dirtbag left just conservatism and facism in a pretty outfit? More and more women are joining the alt-right under the guise of irony, playing a crucial part in the widening of political divides and making bank by broadcasting their bigoted opinions. With tradwifes going mainstream and shock-politics podcasts drawing in hundreds of thousands of listeners; Ione and Gina are examining what it takes for women to be indoctrinated into a movement that exists to belittle them.
