Are Feminists Right About The Misery of Motherhood? Jul 01, 2025

Show notes

This debate shone so much light on the state of the world and how most feminists and young women are thinking about family.

It's tragic, but really informative for those of us trying to build strong families that honor both genders, both parents and children, and all generations.

Jeremy and his daughter Kelsey react to a recent debate between 3 women on the topic of whether feminism is creating lonely, broken men.

They specifically focus on a couple of points:

- The assumption by so many that motherhood is miserable, and,

- The roles of mothers in community building

On this episode, we talk about:

Jeremy and Sydney react to a couple all-time great takes by Dennis Prager, and discuss the importance of this one belief and how it shapes all of society.

So, is the right immoral and the left stupid? Or is there more to it?
