Hawking’s narrative brings her confrontations with aggressive male comments to the forefront. She argues that the current political climate, especially following Trump's election victory, has emboldened certain men to express misogynistic attitudes. The host retorts that Hawking's visibility on social media and her choice to engage in discussions about casual sex inevitably lead to the reactions she receives, often from men who view her as an object rather than an intellectual equal. This presents a paradox; by presenting herself in such a manner, she faces the consequences of the attention she attracts.
