Hey all,
I did a few podcasts recently and will start posting them here every week along with the normal set of articles.
Feel free to check them out and smash that like button, punch the subscriber box, inhale some smelling salts— and then rinse and repeat!
For Friday I have an article reacting to Sue Ellen Browder’s controversial book “Subverted: How I Helped the Sexual Revolution Hijack the Women's Movement.”
Browder is a former writer for Cosmopolitan. She wrote a Mea Culpa about creating a fake movement to “empower” women saying they could sleep with whoever they wanted, buy tons of make-up products, have multiple abortions, and look down on men as scum.
It’s an insane and illuminating read:
“Why was Cosmo so successful? Because it attracted advertisers. Why did it attract advertisers? Because it worked. When a young woman, an insecure young woman, reads these magazines and thinks that she has to have perfume, cosmetics, hair products, beautiful clothes, singles travel … abortions, contraception, when she thinks she has to have all of these things, she’s going to spend a lot of money.”
Browder adds: “They’re telling you on the one hand, ‘Be yourself;’ on the other hand, they’re saying, ‘You’re not good enough the way you are, buy all this stuff to be beautiful.’ Why aren’t you beautiful just the way you are?”
Anywho, here’s a conversation with me and Dr. Asif Munaf, a UK polymath and vlogger who podcasts about health, wealth, and philosophy.
Apologies since I look tired.
Didn’t have my smelling salts on me.
Inspiring and some really practical advice to boot! Keep 'em rolling Isiah.
