Are Women Being Lied To By Modern Culture? - Bridget Phetasy - #431

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hello, friends. Welcome back to the show. My guest today is Bridget Phetasy. She's a comedian, writer and a podcast host. When California isn't on fire, it's having Amazon trains looted and stores robbed without prosecution. Bridget and her new baby bump has managed to survive. But aside from the dangers of LA, what dangers does the culture hold for men's and women's roles in modern society? Expect to learn whether Bridget looks back on her 20s and 30s differently now that she's a mother, her thoughts on shut-slaming, slut-shaming, whether we need to have an opinion on everything, why American homeless people are so scary, why motherhood is so uncelebrated in modern culture, whether there's such a thing as too much freedom from norms and much more. I have to say that I've really enjoyed both conversations this week with Nina Power and Bridget about men's and women's roles in modern society. I think that when you're talking about evolutionary psychology and quasi-red-pilly, manosphere-y, dating dynamic stuff, that it can often feel like you are pointing the finger at one particular sex and saying, well, this is all your fault. A lot of the time that happens to be pointing the finger at women. I don't think that that is a productive, effective or correct solution to this problem. I really enjoyed both conversations this week. And this one with Bridget is good. I also like that she pushes back against a bunch of my ideas. So yeah, it was very, very fun. I hope that you enjoy this one. In other news, this episode is brought to you by Mission. Mission believes that the world has a caffeine problem and they're probably right.
