a lot of these people try to spin their retrograde attitudes about gender as a form of women's empowerment by appealing to the idea that femininity has been undervalued. but they don't want to elevate the status of femininity, they just want women to be more feminine so they can undervalue them
You might have read something about Ross Douthat’s podcast last week. Becca Rothfeld reviews the new book by Leah Libresco Sargeant, one of the guests on that show. www.washingtonpost.com/books/2025/1...

I am not defending Landon’s relationship with Epstein. In fact, the NYT didn’t even try to defend it. He left the paper. What I’m saying is that a piece of investigative journalism that exposes a secret, criminal act such as statutory rape requires far more than what is in these emails.
