Pickup Artistry and Poland

On today’s episode of Walt Right Perspectives I speak with

Piotr Pachota

, a longtime friend of this publication.

Some of you may recall Piotr from his fantastic essay Dangerous Women, which played a central role in my own piece Women Don’t Have Agency.

He also recently published a sequel to Dangerous Women about how Tinkerbell is a BPD girl, which is nearly as good as the first and absolutely deserves your eyeballs.
