2/ When remotely pushed on any of the harms of feminization, Andrews has to basically reorient her argument to something she thinks the audience wants to hear, because there's no evidence of the original claims (women are bad vets).

I was Catholic while at 538 and for several years before dating my husband.

I’m skeptical that Zohran can deliver on his headline promises, but he clearly
-loves NYC
-wants to find solutions, not explain who’s to blame
-constantly trying to win over opponents with a positive vision vs lead one faction against another

I wish my Dad lived long enough it. He’d have loved it

Getting an answer to that q was my one goal! It’s not meant as a gotcha.

Helen hadn’t done any live discussions with a skeptic until this point, and her essay got a lot of play. I felt I was very well positioned to ask tough questions she hadn’t otherwise been asked.

I think it’s obvious you and I disagree on some big things (like abortion) but my day job is working both sides of the aisle to increase material support for families.

And you sure can’t get there with a position of naked contempt for women a la Andrews.

I mean, I’m on the pod specifically because I think Helen’s argument is wrong and I wanted an in person fight about it.

I’ve worked at for-profit businesses, but at the start up ~80 employees phase. I did run HR at one though.

Which are the five justices you’re classifying as evangelical?

It’s a wild mix of easy (no shoes) and huge (homeschooling) choices.

Lots of this is doable working or not. Some bits (no vaccines) don’t conflict with working, they’re just bad!
