I have now been informed by email that I and my guest are misogynists, that we probably want to give men carte blanche to beat women, that men are the problem and that all the troubles of the past five years are down to men's innate violent nature. This from a viewer who insists she's not a feminist.

The show disgusted her, appalled her, and she would like me to consider whether the problem may be that men as a whole are Cluster B.

Love it. Sounds like a borderline to me. Or a feminist. Same difference.

Hi Josh, Given the focus of your work (the explosion of Cluster B in modern life), I wonder if you'd be interested in reading a novel I wrote on that exact topic. It's called Lost Causes, and is an easy-to-read thriller aimed at exposing this phenomenon and the way it is destroying western civ. I started writing it in the 90s when I first realised what was going on in attempt to raise awareness of the threat it posed. Here's a link to the Amazon page to give you an idea of the content, but I'd be happy to send you a free copy if you're interested.

This is one people should listen to with a pen and notebook. Y'all were both excellent.

One great conversation and with honesty. Here's the thing not only can you not speak about the feminization of the world but the problems with much of the black world, almost all of it self induced. Like a bunch of ghetto rats that were making fun of that 13 year old boy to his face-the one at the Trump speech that wanted to become part of law enforcement. Now if he expressed interest at becoming a thug and a drug dealer, fathering endless uncared for children he would have been celebrated. Thanks for letting me vent. I'm growing tired of people ignoring obvious truths.

Amen brothers. One of the most important points to me was "We live in a matriarchy, not a patriarchy." The only way it's working is it's working to destroy Western civilization. Jungian psychology can be a helpful source. Powerful, much needed talk.

Dr. Mark McDonald gives the most fundamentally real description of the roles of men and women (and maleness and femaleness) relative to one another that I've ever heard in this interview, and the viciousness of some of the responses is directly proportional to how necessary it is to state, and continue to restate, this fundamental sociobiological reality.

I’m dealing with a deeply narcissistic relative with vengeance on their mind on one hand, and on the other a grossly troubled borderline personality disorder woman. Both savagely accusing through the legal system… it is truly a nightmare

It's not numbered. It was released on March 6, 2025. If you sort your podcasts on your player, or by going on Youtube, by date, you'll find it. His name is Mark McDonald and there's a picture of him in the promo image.

Let me clarify:

1. Mark McDonald has his own podcast. That podcast is called Informed Dissent. It is HIS show, not mine. I linked to it so you could find his work too, in addition to my work that you're asking about right now.

2. But "this episode," the one you're looking for that appears on my podcast, Disaffected, is linked here. You just didn't notice. Go back and click the picture. That takes you to this episode that this Substack piece is talking about.

3. To be extra certain this is clear, the episode you're looking for is for my show, Disaffected. Yes, that episode, and my show, is *also* on Spotify. Look up Disaffected Podcast and you will find it on any and every single podcast platform.

Make sense?
