Human Nature with Roni Fouks

Ep. 39 - Bryan Caplan: Should You Be A Feminist, In Defense of Louise Perry, & Pros & Cons of Nationalism


Listen Later

In this episode, I spoke with Bryan Caplan, a professor of economics and an avid author on the culture wars.

Bryan wrote a book called “Don’t Be a Feminist: A Letter to My Daughter” and we discussed some of the issues with modern feminism today.

We spoke about his latest appearance on Louise Perry’s podcast Maiden Mother Matriarch and some of the disagreements that they had there. I did my best to defend Louise’s book 'The Case Against the Sexual Revolution' and her critique of the extremely liberal sexual culture we find ourselves in, because I think it’s an important message for young women and men who want to find a long-term relationship and find themselves disillusioned with the current status quo of dating.

We talked about Bryan's advice on dating today and how men and women can overcome their social anxiety when trying to find love. And lastly, we spoke about Bryan’s new book that will be coming out soon “You Will Not Stampede Me: Essays on Non-Conformism” and we got into a bit of a debate on nationalism.

I am very interested in hearing your opinions on the points we raised on feminism, modern dating, and nationalism, so do leave a comment and share your thoughts.
