BiCurean

Men and women have vastly different perceptions of what is occurring in issues of consent and harassment. What are some of the contributing factors?

Show Notes

#MeToo has brought attention to a long time problem that gets swept under the rug. In this episode we explored some of the current conversation as well as explore the concept of consent.

What is BiCurean?

BiCurean takes typically combative topics and teaches them to play nice. Our view is the mainstream reactionary rhetoric divides us and only helps those invested in the status quo. We seek to find answers beyond the most obvious.

Join host Aicila as she digs into topics ranging from social and political to geeky and fun. Aicila is looking for the "BiCurean Moment"- the point where contradictions meet or are embraced.

BiCurean was conceived of in 2011 by Aicila as a podcast and originally created as a blog. On hiatus since 2021, she's been eager to start back up, and 2025 will be the year she does. Watch for new episodes, a new format, and just her as the host.
