Alfred Kinsey, Pedophilia, and the Sexual Revolution

The episode concludes with an investigation into Alfred Kinsey, the father of the sexual revolution. Dr. Judith Reisman's 1990 appearance on Phil Donahue is used to highlight Kinsey's admitted use of data derived from the sexual abuse of hundreds of infants and children. The hosts point out the extreme measures taken by the media and academic institutions to protect Kinsey's legacy while simultaneously dismantling figures like Bill Cosby.

Shahrazad Ali and the Black Man's Guide Controversy

Shahrazad Ali's 1989 book, "The Black Man's Guide to Understanding the Black Woman," is introduced as a polar opposite to Michelle Wallace's work. Archival audio from the Geraldo Rivera show illustrates the firestorm the book caused by blaming black women for issues within the community. The hosts note the hostile media reception Ali received compared to feminist authors of the same era.
