    Misogyny and Axel Rudakubana

    In this week's episode, a sensitive topic that we feel needs to be talked about more in today's culture. Misogyny is still rife, and by telling this story, we might convince even one person to take action where they might otherwise have not. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/misogyny https://medium.com/@mario_ferrera/the-psychology-of-female-self-doubt-and-internalized-sexism-11211b307736 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8207292/ https://victimscommissioner.org.uk/document/women-and-equalities-committees-inquiry-misogyny-the-manosphere-and-online-content-evidence-submission/ https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/prevent-duty-guidance https://metro.co.uk/2025/08/21/southport-killer-axel-rudakubana-wins-back-prison-perks-attacking-guard-boiling-water-23959062/ https://www.itv.com/news/granada/2025-05-12/calls-for-kettle-prison-ban-after-southport-killer-alleged-attack https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y7g01682go https://www.cps.gov.uk/mersey-cheshire/news/teenager-jailed-killing-three-children-dance-class-and-trying-kill-ten https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/axel-rudakubana-cardiff-banks-rwanda-liverpool-crown-court-b1205932.html#:~:text=The teenager who carried out,death, it has now emerged. https://www.nationalreview.com/2025/07/scene-from-a-horror-film-the-southport-stabbing-spree-one-year-later/amp/ https://basw.co.uk/about-social-work/psw-magazine/articles/extremism-or-violent-misogyny-social-work-response-axel https://www.ourstreetsnow.org/blog/violent-misogyny-at-the-heart-of-the-southport-attacks-is-still-being-ignored#:~:text=Culture

    fMRI and Brian Dugan

    This week's episode has a slightly different concept, in the sense that it is medical. However, researchers in the psychology field have found it super fascinating and are using fMRIs to figure out all sorts of questions surrounding the brain. We relate fMRIs to the strange case of Brian Dugan, who was the first to use this type of scan in a criminal case. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diagnostics/25034-functional-mri-fmri https://www.med.wisc.edu/news/psychopaths-brains-differences-structure-function/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0149763424003737 https://www.ndcn.ox.ac.uk/divisions/fmrib/what-is-fmri/introduction-to-fmri https://academic.oup.com/scan/article/1/2/158/2362915 https://murderpedia.org/male.D/d/dugan-brian-james.htm https://law.stanford.edu/2009/12/14/neuroscience-and-sentencing-diminished-culpability-and-capacity-for-change/ https://www.science.org/content/article/fmri-evidence-used-murder-sentencing https://www.criminallawlibraryblog.com/fmri_evidence_used_in_murder_sentencing/ https://www.dailyherald.com/20091105/news/strange-mind-of-a-killer-researcher-says-dugan-rare-psychopath/ https://www.steme.org/post/science-behind-psychopathy https://www.nature.com/articles/464340a
