Submit ReviewIn our third (!) Halloween episode, we discuss cults - how they affect women, how they work, and historical and modern American cults.
What do silverware, self-help groups, and science fiction actors have to do with cults? You’ll find out!
Misty discusses the Oneidas - their surprising beliefs on gender roles and their dangerous approach to communal living. Allegra shares an overview of how Keith Raneire built NXIVM on misogyny.
Whether it’s a doomsday cult or a utopia gone wrong, cults are dangerous, sometimes especially for women.
