“This song exposes the asymmetry behind male grievance. It's about the way that the practical realities of living in certain bodies decimates the hypothetical framework of false equivalences. In short, there are real differences between negative feelings towards different groups, based on how likely those negative feelings are to contribute to the physical harm, or death, of their targets.

Featuring: Angélique Kidjo, Wu Man, Clara Rockmore, Pussy Riot, and more.

My personal take-away: Keep learning, keep listening, keep striving to be better."

Featuring: Tanzania Albinism Collective, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Témé Tan, Snoop Dogg, and more.
