Hello Lila and Mary: Regarding what men talk about when we together, much of it is understated and ironic little jokes. To many women looking on, it would probably appear that nothing is happening. However, when you are part of it, a huge amount of warmth and affection is being expressed. I hope that helps.
I over heard a conversation of 3 men who didn’t know I was there. It was about sex. Maybe it was them. I guy once told that men tell each other lies. They all know each other is lying. Maybe the stories the men I over heard were lies.

Mary speaks like a writer, with all of these amazing, innovative ideas coming into her head at 120 MPH and no place to put them but on paper. :0) I really will be looking for her work to get to read more often. As an aside, her skin is amazing, especially for her approximate age. You are absolutely gorgeous, as well. I also wanted to mention your stunning backdrop. I want to find it and hang it somewhere in my home just to look at it and be happier. :0) Happy new baby.
Mary is such an incredible thinker, I'm so grateful for her work. Her book was one of the best I ready last year. Thank you so much for this interview!
I have read and most highly recommend Mary's book, Feminism Against Progress. She's one of a very, very few contemporary thinkers who actually sparked a paradigm shift in my thinking. Great interview, thanks.
Welcome back, Lila! Was happy to see a new episode in my podcast feed on my phone this morning! Hope you and your family are well. Really enjoyed your previous episodes on femininity and masculinity, so thank you for covering this related topic further. Also, yesterday's Live Action video S*xual Ethics: Rome to Christianity was great imo! The visual quality was stunning. Thank you for being so loving for the dignity of life! Hope you and your family have a light-filled peaceful joyful week!
I did a lot of head nodding during this interview. Mary speaks a lot of truth regarding the history of the nuclear family in an agrarian to industrial society. I would add that my childhood in the 70s and 80s included neighbors that were home in an overall Judeo Christian society. In several neighborhoods we've lived, neighbors aren't available, no one is home or want to visit like I grew up with. Not many women stay home these days. It's a totally different world!
Agreed. I wonder what her thoughts are on the development of the role of grandparents. Particularly because we have lost the cultural focus on stable families where there would have been an ideal 'vacancy' for grandparents to look after grandchildren while parents were working. It may well have been a perfect 'stabilizing influence' in households. But instead for some reason we've put grandparents in independant households where they can contribute much less.
As globalization has increased more people have had to continually relocate to advance their career. People no longer live close to extended family. Plus people love their privacy and independence which is less when living in close proximity to family.
As a classic lib which is a reduced calorie libertarian, I was an ally over workers rights issues and protecting fa. I bolted when the promotion of maps started attacks on men and free speech. Best of luck on your journey, like so many others, I think you will find you are so much happier not stuck on the doom and gloom cycle. Many even stopped needing antidepressants. It is a sick system. I am so tired of them preying on us.
@@Nylon_riot I could not go full libertarian because I saw free trade as a way of megacorps to ignore environmental safety and labor safety laws. They'll just make more shit in Chyyyna
The worst lie we tell girls is that they can do everything men can. But the competition is solely defined by terms of men's success. When they keep losing, then, they feel inferior, powerless, inadequate. All the while the society keeps hammering them with every successful woman who got a great job, founded a business or won a race. I saw what that thinking does to a woman and it was just miserable. I can barely distinguish basic colours, I could live in a cave and I wouldn't be bothered and first and for all, I'm horrible at having babies. Yet nobody aims to diminish my value because of that. Why do we do that only to women? ... Love Mary, love her book and how she giggles. Thanks for bringing her on.
It has always been about advocacy for women. Can be interpreted as striving for equality where women are behind. But the disinterest in taking a step back when women are ahead shows the intention was always Forward fpr women, no matter the position of men. So it's a supremacy movement now women have caught up but are not slowing down.
Womens lib was funded by Rockefeller and Carnegie because they needed more factory workers and the government wanted a new tax base. As well as kids now having to be put into schools for indoctrination, also started by Rockefeller and Carnegie to make more factory workers.
Nope. At first it was about redefining the position of women under the influence of early industrialism. After that it was solely about (hedonistic) freedoms that hardly improve quality of life (or undermine it).
Also not that the Industrial Revolution replaced all the important jobs that women found honor in with machine. Clothes being made at a factory instead of a wife sitting at a fabric loom for 100s of hours to clothe the family. Is a big change in what a women did. Men made machines to make there women’s lives easier but removed the tasks that gave them purpose besides just having children
Goes to show you that automation or industrialisation is only useful given the precondition that it improves quality of life. ... chances are that if events of the past 200 years would have taken place of the course of 2000 years it may well have been better for humanity because it would have given people more time to adapt their cultures more appropriately.
First time listener, it was recommended by Mary being your guest. I am not American and I was interested by your prolife stance which I share. My country has socialised health care and scans are performed at six weeks as part of the confirmation of pregnancy. They are obviously tiny babies. I don't know why it is such a charged topic in the US. My state doesn't have abortion, not because its ilegal but because not a single doctor is prepared to perform one. I've never heard a woman complain.
Ring by Spring 💍 My daughter went to a Christian college and that's a saying there. Meaning aim to be engaged to a good man by Spring of senior year. She is applying for medical school, and she was very focused that she preferred to begin building her family during her undergrad. She hopes to have a baby during her residency. She has wonderful women 15-50 years older than her encouraging her, mentoring her spiritually, professionally, and in marraige and family. That's what is working for her.
@@ianmiles2505 and yet there's something magnificent you're uniquely for ... the reason we all "that's ok you have other talents" when a woman can't have her own children is because its such a profound tragedy
What I miss in this interview is the importance of clothing and the rise of the mini skirt at the same time "the pil" came on the market. The pressure that was put on women to dress themselves in a sexy and provocative way. And that fashion and make up became very important. Women became pleasers who need to look young and willing. And so they became competitors for each other with revenge and jealousy in their hearts. And men laughed at it and made jokes about it.
I think you are correct. The pill enabled sex to be given and taken on demand "consequence free" (all though it can never really be consequence free the pill just makes it appear that way) and with that came a focus on sex purely for arousal and pleasure. And therefore there was a focus on women to start marketing themselves for free sex to men. Women in hollywood etc... fully leaned into that and it influenced younger generations
If women believed replacing water with gasoline on firetrucks would be better for firefighting, they would spend eternity lobbying to continue the process, regardless.
She has nit changed! Her views are still driven by what she wants. When young she wanted the freedom to live life consequence free. With no bad outcomes f o r her. Now her wants have changed. Now she wants life to be stable and consequence free, at others expense! With no bad outcomes for her.
@samgraham8430 But she hasn't had any consequences. She's been extremely lucky and shouldn't be held up as an example because the likelihood is if you live that kind of life, you will get STDs, will be rendered infertile and will end up alone.
>.< When she described the American housewife in the 1940's.. I was like: Oh, she just described me. I'm miserable as a stay at home mom but it has nothing to do with my kids it's because I'm so lonely. Everybody else is too busy... I have no other mom friends. They all work. They're too busy. I have no friends period though for the same reason. Everyone is just too busy. So I stay home alone all day, every day. And now that my kids are going to school I'm not even alone WITH my kids... I'm just alone. It's the worst experience of my life. And, again, not because of my kids... but because the complete and total isolation.
Knowing the roots of feminism (ie, 1st Wave Feminism) lie in neomarxism, occultism, free love and dislike for family values, I wonder: - WHY Harrington still considers herself a feminist - WHY Ms. Rose said that technology has had a much deeper impact on women (something Jordan Peterson erroneously considers), especially considering how almost 300 years ago the industrial revolution DID NOT have the impact current tech is having on relationships This is exactly why we must regard anyone who considers herself a feminist with a ton of caution.
I agree that she only focuses on the materialist aspect of the feminist movement. I think she should read Occult Feminism, if she has not already. But why do you assert that it is an error to overestimate the impact technology had to the spread of feminism. As far as I can tell, feminism is only able to spread once a certain level of production is reached and tech makes work less dependent on physical strength. - From what I understand, the impulse behind feminism was always lurking in the background, but could only spread to the extent it has done today once a certain tech level was reached. If the tech disappears, the necessity of survival will abolish feminism quickly, or so I would think. But I would love to hear your argument on it.
@@RainbowDevourerAgreed. I could not have asked the same question in a better way. It seems that the developments of the past 200 years impacted the lives of women more deeply than men making it more difficult for women to redefine culture along with men.
You guys have your equality now. Enjoy it. You can defend yourself and work for yourself... You can live your dream's. Join the military. Having your fun...
They have opened the doors of Europe to those than would overrun us. They eliminated millions of potential humans. Think about this in terms of numbers and pure potential.
Guest and host ignore that feminist argued that the monetary value unpaid work like caregiving for children, parents, housework should be taken in consideration in social and economic policies. I like hearing diverse views. But I’m suspicious when someone straw man’s opponents arguments. I’m not a feminist bc I’m not an ideologue. I’m heterodox. But there are some feminists do seriously represent opponents views and dismantle them rationally. That did not happen in this interview.
No. Women didn't have personage, legal and financial independence in pre+industrial times. That's quite the rewriting of history. Women were treated as livestock until they had en early d from childbirth number 10/15. There is a lot to agree with in what Mary says, but without financial independence and the human right of bodily autonomy women are, and will remain, men's property.
Livestock? I currently have 150 dairy cows fenced in on my pasture. Back in the day those would have been women contained en masse? Or would a man traditionally have just one wife, unless a Mormon? Coverture certainly legally regarded a man's one wife as his property, but with that he subsumed all liabilities for her as his own liabilities. That was actually a benefit for her with that particular status in muchbm harder times when survival was more paramount than in the current post-modern western society.
You're delusional. Women could, in fact, own businesses, albeit limited in scope, as far back as the Middle Ages. You may also want to investigate Eleanor of Aquitaine and the concept of courtly love.
It pleases me that this is the only bitter feminist comment that turned up in the comment section. Either be honest about history or sink deeper into the bitterness of modern feminism. Your choice... you are strong and independant right? Good luck. Hahaha!
Very nice and educational interview. She was able to explain a lot of open points in my discussion with my daughter over feminism, the role of women in society together with the rampant misogyny that we see these days. As usual Lila, very good content
... rampant misoginy? If there's any rampant sexism nowadays it would by misandry. As a response there may be some actual misoginy here and there... but the root cause is misandry. Did you listen to the interview?
I don't agree with the " word feminist " as same as men ...to me is our differences recognized but honored...equality doesn' t mean the same...equality means there must be a difference to create this issue...we are not in competition with men...we are not the same....so competition is moot
Ezer = rescuers and strength is proper translation not helper used to cringe whenever I heard this Bible verse, I went straight into defensive mode. I don’t want to be a “helper” or “help meet”, that sounds so lame. Like I was made to be an assistent or servant to a man. This my dear sisters is a lie, you are made for so much more. In Hebrew the word used is Ezer Kenegdo and this is a difficult word to translate into English or any other language. The meaning of Ezer Kenegdo Ezer has originally two meanings in Hebrew, depending on the pronunciation: to rescue/to save and to be strong. In the Old Testament the word Ezer is used 21 times. We can roughly divide the different Scriptures in three ways the word “Ezer” is used: 1. Ezer used for the woman. Show list of Scriptures 2. Ezer used for nations to whom Israel appealed for military aid. Show list of Scriptures 3. Ezer used for God as Israel’s helper. Show list of Scriptures What these Bible verses have in common is that Ezer is used consistently in military context. The Ezer is a warrior. You are a warrior. The Hebrew word Kenegdo means opposite as to him or corresponding as to him. A woman is no better or less than the man. Man and woman are equally and uniquely created, a perfect fit.
This woman is not a feminist. I don't understand why she calls herself a feminist. I am positive it undermines the goal of reaching the people she needs to be reaching. I would go as far as saying that if this woman calls herself a feminist it is a bit emberassing. Very very good content. Underrated (for now).
Just gynocentrism! She wants one set of advantages when she was younger but a different set when her wants change as she ages! It is only and always - society has to be forced to provide what is good for me!

I am enthralled by this. It is enlightening.
In an agrian society children are also part of the household economy. Thus moving the focus of work out of the home also devalued children.
This is something people don't like to face. When kids don't have an ROI, why have any?
