Never heard the word second wave feminism until about ten years ago.

Most of the things that women were fighting for in the 1970s we are still fighting for today.

Interesting podcast.

Here's a thought... women ARE partially to blame for acquiescing to transgender BS because the failure of 2nd wave Feminism to acknowledge and respect biological differences in speed, size, strength, and vision that have evolved over the millennia, (and which predispose women to be risk averse) allowed trans bio-denialism to flourish.

And here we are.

Talk about chickens coming home to roost UGLY.

On a lighter note, as a Floridian who plays it regularly I MUST say that Pickleball is totally NOT nerdy.

Though easy to learn, when played at slightly higher levels it's fast and furious!

I think that's fair, and have made similar criticisms in terms of feminism's failures, one of which being the rejection of evolutionary biology/psychology, which does indeed show that men and women are different. I think feminism went too hard on the equality thing, which makes sense because for so long we were kept out of politics, sports, education, careers on account of these 'differences'. BUT pretending as though men and women truly are the same, that all differences are learned or socialized was also detrimental... It's frustrating because so many men want it to be entirely feminism's fault and that's just not true...

I agree completely. Equality does not equate to sameness and that must be considered when creating good policies.

Everyone's gotta clean up their act!

P.S. Love your podcasts.. 😁
