Daum and Daumer probably uses methylene blue at this point. You just many irresponsible, uninformed and small minded things to say…for sure an affinity to hating on younger women, especially if they’re mothers. Also a zinonista.
Megan’s interview with Helen was very good. I enjoy listening to Megan for her heterodox views on topics impacting society. Her conversation with Helen on the impacts of increasing feminization on society was enlightening. This was especially true for someone like me who has worked in an organization and research field that has gone from gender parity to female dominated during his career.
