Ep. 5 - #Believe Women
CONTENT WARNING: This episode deals with sexual violence and the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings. This week, Jaiden learns about Alzheimer's and discusses her slightly controversial opinions on the allegations against Brett Kavanaugh. A note from Jaiden: "I want to clarify that I do think that we should believe women who come forward with allegations of sexual violence, in general. However, what I am saying in this episode is that it is ridiculous to generalize and automatically assume the truthfulness of anything that anyone says. I hope this is made clear to everyone. If you have questions or want to argue, send me an email at [email protected]"
