S03E04 - Out of Proportion‪?‬ Upspeak

Redemption. Can everyone, no matter the crime, expect it? Do we all deserve it? How do we decide what punishment fits what crime? What if we disagree as a society on whether or not something is a big enough deal to merit a punishment? Is sexual harassment truly harmful to the victims? Can we even call them victims? What if they're never touched? What if they "agree"? Are we all on the same page when it comes to consent? These are things Charlie and I discuss on this week's episode after reading an article on Vox.com about whether or not Louis C.K. should be allowed to do comedy any longer.
