Get a glimpse into the social contagion that's spreading rapidly in our world by hearing how it's impacting 2 young women, as Jeremy is joined by his daughters Sydney and Elisa.

First they react to an interview with Jonathan Haidt, where he discusses why and how women are impacted so deeply and negatively by social media. How do we protect the fact that women are naturally empathetic - which is a necessary and beautiful thing in the context of a family?

Then they kick off a discussion of what makes a strong female character in literature and why this is directly related to how we raise our children today, in light of the massive push by the woke media to re-write reality.

On this episode, we talk about:

1:14 The impact social media is having on our daughters
