The Free Mind Podcast explores philosophic and political ideas with adventurous disregard for intellectual trends. Listeners are invited to pull up a chair in an intellectual laboratory where rationally defensible arguments are tested in the spirit of truth-seeking, and made in a conversational style free of academic jargon. The podcast engages scholars and public intellectuals who seek to present a diversity of viewpoints in a venue where good faith is granted at the door, and clear expression of ideas is more important than adherence to any particular ideology.

Prof Evans said there were 3 historical examples of where a more gender equal society was replaced by a more patriarchal one (Greek/Minoan; Rome/Etruscan; Islam across Middle East & N Africa I believe). Is this correlation, or causation?
