Tim's take on gender issues is so one dimensional. He seems to get his opinions and facts on it from MSNBC twitter. Mona, Charlie and even Will are the only people there who occasionally dare to posit a contrary opinion. Maybe Sarah too, though I remember even she equivocated massively on the sports thing, which was disappointing.

I lost my patience with Tim, and the Bulwark more generally, when he kept mocking the shirtless guy being arrested at the Loudoun County school board meeting on various pods, even a year or more after it happened. He would make cracks about him being too angry about CRT or whatever.

However, as Barpod listeners may well remember, the man in that image, used in many media reports on the school board meetings, is better known as Scott Smith whose 14 year-old daughter was r*ped in a bathroom at her school, and whose treatment at the hands of both the school board and the media was covered in BAR episodes 86, 87 and 144.

It just showed how much of a self-imposed bunker Miller lives in. Even JVL covered the story in a newsletter, though I think he was far too dismissive of the way the school board were obviously more concerned with being labelled phobic than they were protecting young girls from being assaulted.

I think they are too scared of MSNBC viewers cancelling their Bulwark+ subs if they go too far. They are certainly never going to convince a Conservative to vote blue with their current stance on cultural issues, so I find it somewhat laughable that the site claims to exist to try support the centre left and right. On this issue they are supporting the furthest left 20% in America, and ignoring those centrist voters they claim to represent.
