Night has fallen on #ShakespeareDay , but there's still time to read this delightful piece in Los Angeles Review of Books by my former college professor Frank Bergon. 'Bosko tximurtxo!' lareviewofbooks.org/article/i-unde…
Thanks millions to Meghan Daum for having me on The Unspeakable Podcast to talk all things housewife. Apparently I'm the lone feminist to defend tradwives? But if you're like me, complaining about unfair division of labor and the mental load, maybe we have something to learn from them?
What happens when a generation of girls and women who want to be full-time wives and mothers are told, 'that's not enough?'
This week on The Unspeakable Podcast, journalist Lisa Selin Davis on her new book HOUSEWIFE and how we went from Betty Friedan to Ballerina Farms.
Thank you for an AMAZING event Meghan Daum! Such great conversation and bridge building 💪
Another spectacular The Unspeakeasy retreat weekend, this time in Los Angeles. Huge thanks to our guest speakers Monica_Harris and Ana Kasparian and to all who traveled from near and far. I can't tell you what was said, but Hugo knows all.
Gentlemen: you asked to be included in The Unspeakeasy and it's happening! Our first-ever CO-ED retreat is JUNE 4-5 in CHICAGO. With guest speakers Erec Smith Likes Rhetoric, Lisa Selin Davis, and Nadine Strossen. It's not an overnight (sorry) but we won't be monitoring you after hours.
There's a lot of complexity to this and Lori has talked about how 'settling' was not her idea for the title. But it's true she was talking about this stuff long before the edgelords caught on. She discussed it with me in a recent episode of The Unspeakable Podcast.
