The Tate brothers have fled Romanian for the United States, leaving their combined half a dozen daughters behind, and avoiding their pending trial for rape, assault, and sex trafficking minors.

Their case exemplifies the phrase 'justice delayed is justice denied'. Will they now reinvent themselves away from being pornographers, pimps, and professional criminals? Plus, the Tates status of persona non-grata in the American conservative movement, why the Romanian state has effectively let them go, and their combination of sadism, narcissism, and Machiavellianism.

We review Victoria Smith's new book '(Un)kind: How 'Be Kind' Entrenches Sexism'. We discuss the overarching expectation on women to “be kind” and its implications, such as making space for men in women's spaces, disagreeing with men a cardinal sin, and women as virtuous only if endlessly forgiving. Other themes of the book discussed are the concept of "himpathy”, women’s kindness as transformative for men, women's kindness when tied to sexual access, and how the "be kind" mantra helps to secures male dominance in social interactions with women. Plus, examples of famous men being absolutely unkind and never being policed for it, men as ‘sexual communists’ when it comes to wanting an equality of sexual access according to sex as a supposed need, JD Vance’s excellently unkind grandmother, men's rage when women say “no", and how adherence to ‘be kind’ explains why more women than men supports trans rights, despite transgenderism not being in women's interests and very much in men's interests.

Belle Gibson is an Australian woman who faked surviving several bouts of terminal cancer, and has become the subject of a Netflix dramatisation of those events, entitled Apple Cider Vinegar. Gibson became famous for her nutrition app The Whole Pantry, after claiming to have cured her cancer through healthy eating. We discuss what makes people fake having cancer, the understanding between illness and morality, and New Age lifestyle moralism as a kind of feminine personal policing. Plus, how caring for the sick as a cultural value is not universal, Münchausen syndrome and the accruing of medical evidence, radical feminism's promotion of naturopathy, Trump’s diet, veganism, placebos, and traditional Chinese medicine.
