Rachel Wilson Ends It AGAIN, NotSoErudite Most Affected

"She's applying these talking points not as topics of debate, but as gotchas."

Brian and Alison keep going through Rachel Wilson's debate with Kyla, also known as NotSoErudite, on whether feminism has done more harm than good — Wilson arguing it has, NotSoErudite looking anywhere else for a culprit.

Also: Claudia Goldin's finding that the 1970s was not a spike in women's employment but part of a rise already long underway; the Gulf states as the gotcha, and why fertility is falling faster in the debtor Muslim nations than the creditor ones; sixty thousand dollars of average student debt and a first child at 31; share buybacks against capital expenditure as a symptom of an economy moving from production to signalling position; and a man trading his own fertile years for money he'll have at forty.

"Not even the communists wanted to do that. The Nazis still had children and marriage. The only one of the big ideologies that specifically said, hey, we're going to kill family, was feminism."
