Her work can be found in the Washington Examiner, Tablet, UnHerd, and many other places. Katherine has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the internet: contemporary internet culture, the history of the internet, and the effect that it’s having on society. We spoke about Katherine’s theory on the political importance of Tumblr, the so-called ‘male-to-male transsexual’ as a product of the internet age, why Chinese kids aren’t allowed on TikTok, and much more. Katherine’s essay ‘The coming wave of sex negativity’ https://defaultfriend.substack.com/p/72-the-coming-wave-of-sex-negativity/commentsThe Case Against the Sexual Revolution by Louise Perry is available to buy here: https://amzn.to/3xLHJNd 1:10 The coming wave of sex negativity 5:11 Internet niches and mainstream culture8:25 ‘Tradwives’ as an online trend 14:25 Should the MMM podcast move to OnlyFans? 22:23 Is AI going to replace OnlyFans? 26:17 The strongest argument in defence of porn 31:34 What weird porn does to people’s brains 37:24 The male-to-male (and female-to-female) transsexual 38:53 Why women get obvious lip fillers 41:24 The link between Tumblr and the Great Awokening  47:14 Is wokeness bad for teenagers’ mental health? 50:43 The origins of the term ‘latinx’ 54:06 Gen Z online culture 1:00:07 How fashions are transmitted 1:05:12 Why is TikTok so popular?Follow Maiden Mother Matriarch on social media:Twitter: https://twitter.com/maiden_podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/maiden_mother_matriarch/TikTok: tiktok.com/@maiden_podcast Keeper - Meet the person who meets your standards with the world’s most advanced matchmaking solution.

Charlie Peters is a GB News journalist and filmmaker. His latest documentary, Grooming Gangs: Britain's Shame, is now available to watch on YouTube. Charlie and I spoke about the scale of the grooming gangs scandal, the timeline of events, the people involved, and the nitty gritty of it all. Charlie spent the last 18 months travelling up and down the country learning everything there is to know about this scandal, and he’s come to some conclusions about why it has been neglected in the way that it has. Be warned that this is tough viewing – this isn’t nice, but it is important, and it has been shamefully neglected in the media to date. Charlie is doing his best to change that. The MMM podcast can also be found on Apple, Spotify, and all other streaming platforms.
