I can say this publicly now - connected to this piece - it always disappointed me how rarely Monkey Cage had more than one female panellist - in my final series I think only 2 out of 7 episodes had more than one female guest - I pushed for many years but ultimately failed and now I’m gone

It disappoints me how seldom Infinite Monkey Cage had more than one female panellist - even in my final series only two out of seven episodes have more than one woman appearing

What science persuaded you, Mistake Not, that humans, alone among all animals, can drive cars, read books, have complex language, write poetry, and be hugely influenced by societal constructs
