I don't think pearl is grifting. I watched a shitload of her podcasts what i learned is:
1) She comes from a hyper catholic background and is super religious and conservative
2) She mentions almost ALL the time that 1 in 3 men haven't had sex in a year or are virgins
I speculate that her arguing for men in a way vindicates her "sexually-restrictive" upbringing. She knows that its actually MEN who are most sexually oppressed and it has been this way since the beginning of time. I think shes based but that could change in the future.
