Episode description

Dr Andrew Thomas is a senior lecturer of psychology at Swansea University and a writer.

Expect to learn whether incels should be looked at from a mental health perspective, why there isn't more incel violence, what the word Himpathy means, whether incels are all sexually entitled, what Andrew has learned about men’s experiences with female therapists and much more...
