Episode notes
The response to the book revealed a significant backlash from feminist writers who interpreted the message as suggesting women need men to succeed, asserting that it challenges women's independence. This perspective highlights a misconception that acknowledging the value of support—such as from a spouse—diminishes feminist ideals. Additionally, at an academic conference, researchers expressed disbelief at the findings, labeling them anti-feminist and indicating a hesitance in Europe to discuss family structure in relation to societal issues. This reaction underscores a critical need to confront uncomfortable truths about family dynamics and their impact on social problems, recognizing that avoiding these discussions does not reflect genuine progress in feminism.
