The hosts compare the lack of media attention for fathers' rights to the high-profile nature of other social movements like "Me Too." They discuss the difficulty of getting news organizations to cover stories about parental inequality and the political hesitation to alienate feminist voting blocs. Donovan notes that even when veterans or celebrities like Brad Pitt face these issues, the stories are often relegated to entertainment news rather than being treated as serious social concerns.

A host describes his method of teaching children about feminism and social values by intentionally making "non-feminist" or provocative comments to see if his children will challenge him. He argues that this "testing" ensures they are comfortable standing up for their values and identifying homophobic or discriminatory language in the real world.

The hosts reflect on a previous discussion regarding what women want men to know, specifically focusing on the definition of feminism as the principle of equal rights. They discuss how the term has been hijacked by extreme labels like "feminazi" while emphasizing that true feminism is simply about equal treatment and accountability for both genders. One host shares an anecdote about teaching his young son about the gender pay gap.

Following the Sarah Everard tragedy, the hosts announce a special Monday night discussion featuring guests Liz Evenden and Joe Baldwin-Trott. They define feminism as a pursuit of basic equality in both pay and domestic roles. The segment emphasizes the importance of men listening to women's experiences regarding safety and "unknown unknowns" that men rarely have to consider.
