Are Men Too Horny to Lead?

At what point is male horniness a national security threat? This week on Boy Problems I'm getting into the NVIDIA cheating scandal and the nerve it takes to call women “too emotional to lead.” Plus, we dig into millennial optimism vs. gen z cynicism, answer a Thanksgiving boy problem about a dad with a separate-bedrooms rule, and react to some breaking news that proves our entire point.
