We are celebrating at Common Sense,
We just crossed 4,000 subscribers on YouTube and 250,000 views on YouTube. This may seem small in a world where people get that a day, however, we are happy to see this growth considering how little we had when we started and the issues we have had with consistency.
We want to thank everyone who has subscribed so far and those who will. If everyone who reads this newsletter hits subscribe, we will hit our target of 5,000 subscribers by the end of the year so please do.
Over the next few weeks and months, we aim to create videos that entertain and educate you. We want to record videos for free thinkers who reject the binary nature of our politics and societal divides.
Thank you as ever for your support so far.

Are Gender Roles Oppressive? | 🔴 LIVE RECORDING
People have occasionally felt pressure to act or look a certain way based on their gender. This pressure can make people unhappy, if they are being asked to be or act in a way that does not match who they really are.
Today people have more freedom than ever to express themselves in ways that feel true to who they are, regardless of their gender Are Gender roles oppressive or simply fair expectations society has placed on each gender?
While both paths have their merits, in this video we invite special guests and members of our community to form a live studio audience to explore the topic.
