Misogyny vs Racism

I’ve been a fan of Jim for a few years , but just recently discovered this podcast, so far it’s great, I have a question for Jim though.
In the episode about Laken Riley you were quick to point out rules women should follow to not be attacked and murdered such as stay in groups, don’t jog at night, jog while holding a tactical pen, and do not wear headphones/earbuds etc… you say these things as you say to protect women and I believe you.
In the Tyre Nichols case , while also discussing George Floyd you never mention that you shouldn’t resist arrest , you don’t give that advice. If fact you give advice to the police about their approach when on traffic stops etc…
My question is that in our current culture it is perhaps considered racist to tell black men to not resist arrest, why isn’t it considered misogynist to tell women how to behave for their safety.
Thank you.

Wish it was only Jim

Love this podcast. So insightful and interesting BUT Francy is so annoying and straight up rude to the guests. I wish it was only Jim!

Important information for society today

Changing my review from years ago. I like Jim and appreciate his knowledge and expertise. Francey though is really rubbing me the wrong way now and I unsubscribe a year ago and only listened again recently. Her constant interruptions and basic inability to let Jim complete a sentence is obnoxious. Also her politics are extremely obvious and irritating. I like the cases and the approach. But in my opinion Francey needs to rein it in and let others talk. It isn’t her solo podcast and the political spin is polarizing.
