In this episode of Hanging With Apes, K. Cartoon starts off the conversation by bringing up a video from Vice News that follows a female-only retreat in Costa Rica that offers women of color a break from white people. In the video a woman by the name of Andrea X, who created Women of Color Healing Retreat in Puerto Viejo, talks about cutting out white people from her life and saying that "they have caused enough damage." Both K. Cartoon and Rx Phonics give their take on the whole situation and the women's perspective. The guys then switch their focus on a gender pay gap study titled "Gender Earnings Gap in the Gig Economy: Evidence from Over a Million Rideshare Drivers." The study was led by 5 economists who examined data from more than 1.8 million drivers and 740 million Uber trips in the United States between January 2015 and March 2017. K. Cartoon and Rx Phonics discuss whether this new information helps or hurts the Feminist movement's arguments on this matter.
