3 years of Tangents!

I was scrolling through the Patreon app looking for a something something Natalie to listen to and noticed the very first tangent, “The Groomer Libel”, was published three years ago today. Happy anniversary, Tangent Era! May you continue to entertain, educate, and delight us! I was a patron before tangents, and I think it was a genius move on Natalie’s part, though I do appreciate a 6-hour AMA with a lively chat every now and then.

Do you have a favorite tangent? I think mine (if I were to base it solely on view count) is Liminal Spaces. It’s got it all.

Reading "The Art of War" was a relevatory experience when I was 14

I'm looking for a specific author Natalie quotes in a video

Hi!

So I'm writing a noscript for a video about traveling alone.

I remembered Natalie quoting a feminist author in one of her videos about the oppression of women. It went something like "All I wanna do is travel west" - to which Natalie humorously replied "I dispise the west!"

So it was about women not being able to travel alone & interacting with the world free of the fear of being raped.

Does anyone know which video that was / which author she quoted?

I wanna use that quote for my video.

Thanks!

Most recent ContraPoints episode?

I would be thrilled if Natalie actually reads this subreddit. Anyway, I have been away from the interwebs for so long and I want to know if I missed any of her episodes or speaking engagements. I will just cut this fan letter short but I really, really love her form of teaching and entertainment.
