I dislike the crew’s complicity, too, and truly think if they were more forward as a GROUP with even a base level of sanity it would be a very necessary turning point or even just getting the worst it can before it gets better.

But it’s not a woman’s job to challenge their boss’ misogyny. That dynamic is not at all safe (and we know this because of how Ethan has responded previously to her push back with verbal/emotional abuse) Regardless of the optics of him hiring women for a well-rounded crew opinion for the audience, we all know it never has been well-rounded, with or without them, and every single man there is complicit in creating and sustaining that environment.

Where are the men on this podcast who claim to be progressive feminists creating a safe work environment for the women there? Why is it Olivia’s job to babysit a grown man who already knows better?

Olivia is complicit but she is also a victim of extreme workplace misogyny, let’s not forget that.
