Problematic Women

After working in the Trump administration, Hope Harvard moved home to South Carolina unsure of what the future held. After a night of crying out to God for direction in her life, she awakened with the idea to start a makeup line inspired by the women of the Bible, and Hope Beauty was born. 

Harvard joins the “Problematic Women” podcast to explain how women like Esther and Mary, the mother of Jesus, inspire the makeup products of Hope Beauty. She also offers advice to young women seeking to start businesses of their own.

In a world of “safe spaces” and politically correct speech, clinical psychologist Chloe Carmichael says she believes that society needs more free speech, not less. 

Free speech can help individuals grow and learn as they explore and debate ideas with others, Carmichael says, adding that it even improves anxiety and depression. 

“I think that stopping people from having free speech is almost like a form of abuse,” she says. 

The psychologist recently wrote about free speech's implications for mental health on her blog, and joins the "Problematic Women" podcast to discuss why she believes that limiting speech can be so damaging on college campuses and across society.

The Biden administration is playing games with the definitions of sex and gender.

President Joe Biden has proposed changing the definition of the word "sex" in Title IX, a portion of the Education Amendments of 1972 that prevents discrimination on the basis of sex within public education. Biden would redefine sex to include gender identity and sexual orientation.

Under that proposed change, men who identify as women would be permitted to use women's restrooms and locker rooms at school and participate on women’s sports teams.

Fortunately, Americans have an opportunity to voice support or opposition to the proposed change. Individuals and organizations have until Sept. 12 to send a comment to the Federal Register explaining their position.

The Department of Education is required to review and respond to every comment. So far, about 350,000 comments have been submitted.

The rule change to Title IX will be delayed, or possibly halted, depending upon the number of public comments, Sarah Parshall Perry, a senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation, says. (The Daily Signal is Heritage's multimedia news organization.)

On today’s edition of "Problematic Women," we discuss what redefining sex within Title IX would mean for girls and women across the country. Also on today’s show, we break down Biden’s recent speech in Philadelphia. Plus, football is back. We tell you what you need to know. And as always, we’ll crown our Problematic Woman of the Week.
