#2460 - Rachel Wilson

The conversation explores the history and impact of feminism, particularly focusing on its occult roots and unintended consequences. The guest, Rachel Wilson, author of "Occult Feminism: The Secret History of Women's Liberation," shares her journey of researching the topic, influenced by her upbringing with a Marxist feminist mother and a Rush Limbaugh Republican father. Wilson argues that feminism, driven by figures with unconventional backgrounds and sometimes radical agendas, has not necessarily improved women's lives. She contends that it has led to decreased happiness, increased mental health issues, and harm to children by disrupting traditional family structures. The discussion touches on the role of the CIA in promoting feminism during the Cold War and the Malthusian population agenda connected to figures like Margaret Sanger.
