The full version in 167min long! This edited version hits all the main issues and frankly I think the full version is rather bloated… IMHO.

At the end of our last show, we made a few comments on the importance of context (historical, social, economic, legal, etc) in understanding the rapidly deteriorating state of our society in general and “race-relations” in particular.
In Show#40 I also mentioned a great book that attacks the issue from an opposite side in an inimitable way and I highly recommend it especially for whites.
I owe Jay Gordon for introducing me to the writing of Ishmael Reed with his novel: JUICE (2011)

Is Peter Pan feminist? (check out my deconstruction!)
Posted: 2013/07/10 by Punkonomics (@dearbalak) in UncategorizedCheck out my feminist deconstruction of Peter Pan on my wife’s show.
Anita Sarkeesian explains Tropes vs. Women = reoccurring themes and representations of women in Hollywood films and TV shows.
In this case, “The Manic Pixie Dream Girl” is a cute, bubbly, young (usually white) woman who has recently entered the life of our brooding hero to teach him how to loosen up and enjoy life. While that might sound all well and good for the man, this trope leaves women as simply there to support the star on his journey of self discovery with no real life of her own.
But in Peter Pan it’s an inverse where Peter is the Manic Pixie Dream BOY who helps Wendy growing up and becoming a Women.
… see how I did a textbook deconstruction here ;)
