Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse explains that since the inception of the Sexual Revolution, sexualization of children has been baked in, and the original (and modern) proponents of that haven't even been shy about it.

Understanding and Resisting the Sexualization of Children

The Sexual Revolution has been going on for our entire lives and it has left a trail of destruction. There is hardly an institution in our modern society that has been left untouched: education, therapy, medicine, big tech, the pharmaceutical professions and even the church. You might feel hopeless and confused by the contradictory messages and damaging effects. Don't worry. The Ruth Institute provides decades of research and sound thinking to help you navigate our world and help heal your family. Join us as we work to build a civilization of love!

Gender Studies programs focus on the women's victimhood and how to remedy that (usually through Marxist means). That's a problem because it doesn't focus on what women are and can give, are, or their potential. Enter the Catholic Gender Studies program. Leah Jacobson and Kevin Stuart discuss the roles of gender with Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse on Episode 236 of the Dr. J Show.

Listen to the full episode with a free account on Locals:  https://theruthinstitute.locals.com/post/5618983/podcast-catherine-pakaluk-explains-why-5-of-women-decide-to-have-more-children   In an age where many women have decided that having children is not worth it, there are women all around the country who have decided to have more children. Catherine Pakaluk, an economist and director of Social Research at the Catholic University, recently asked the question why do these women decide to have more children? She traveled across the country and spoke with 55 women, all of whom had 5 or more children, to find out why they decided to have more children. Her new book, "Hannah's Children: the Women Quietly Defying the Birth Dearth," contains her research and stories of the women she interviewed. And you can enter to win one of five autographed copies of the book, for free!

Formerly, she was Assistant Professor and Chair of the Economics Department at Ave Maria University. Her primary areas of research include economics of education and religion, family studies and demography, Catholic social thought and political economy. Dr. Pakaluk is the 2015 recipient of the Acton Institute’s Novak Award, a prize given for “significant contributions to the study of the relationship between religion and economic liberty.”   Pakaluk did her doctoral work at Harvard University under Caroline Hoxby, David Cutler, and 2016 Nobel-laureate Oliver Hart. Her dissertation, “Essays in Applied Microeconomics”, examined the relationship between religious ‘fit' and educational outcomes, the role of parental effort in observed peer effects and school quality, and theoretical aspects of the contraceptive revolution as regards twentieth century demographic trends.      Beyond her formal training in economics, Dr. Pakaluk studied Catholic social thought under the mentorship of F. Russell Hittinger, and various aspects of Thomistic thought with Steven A. Long. She is a widely-admired writer and sought-after speaker on matters of culture, gender, social science, the vocation of women, and the work of Edith Stein. She lives in Maryland with her husband Michael Pakaluk and eight children.   Have a question or a comment?

Podcast Episode 235: Who are the 5% of Women Having More Children? Catherine Pakaluk on the Dr. J Show

Listen to the full episode here: https://theruthinstitute.locals.com/post/5605536/the-ruth-institute-podcast-episode-234-mary-margaret-olahan-shares-detransitioner-stories   Being transgender is almost the preferred mode of existence: from President Biden proclaiming transgender day of visibility on Easter, to June being pride month, especially for transitioning. But in the wake of the WPATH files, and the Cass report from the UK the tide seems to be turning against the insanity that is transgenderism. A powerful component to helping it turn is hearing and understanding the stories of the people who transitioned and then regretted their decision and have since detransitioned. Mary Margaret Olohan, senior reporter at the Daily Signal, has just published a new book that discusses the stories of the detransitioners. Their stories are powerful, heartbreaking, and tragic.  Hear another detransitioner story here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K7QgYOKThw   Mary Margaret Olohan is a Senior Reporter at The Daily Signal where she covers the cultural and political stories of the moment through both video and print journalism. She previously wrote for The Daily Wire and got her start at The Daily Caller News Foundation, where she participated in the American Journalism Institute fellowship.Her work focuses on the protection of children’s innocence, the struggles of biological women to maintain the integrity of their sports and spaces, the battle over abortion and the protection of the unborn, and the coronavirus pandemic’s effect on children, service members, businesses, and the livelihoods of every-day Americans. She is a graduate of The Catholic University of America, and most proud to be the oldest daughter in an Irish Catholic family of eleven children.

Ruth Institute Podcast: Detransitioning Stories: Mary Margaret Olohan Shares the Heartbreak on the Dr. J Show episode 234

Why is it that kids who are neurodivergent are so often marketed to by the transgender activists? From Blue’s Clues “Pride Parade” to Target’s brightly colored gay pride displays, kids are the recipients of this “rainbow capitalism.” Pamela Garfield-Jaeger, a licensed clinical therapist, discusses the transgender activists crusade, how they target neurodivergent kids, and what happened to the therapeutic profession between 2017 and today.   Pamela received her Master's in Social Work in 1999 at New York University. She has been licensed in California since 2005. Pamela has experience working in schools in New York City, San Francisco and in Silicon Valley California. She has been a clinical supervisor for over ten years overseeing therapists working in school-based programs and in mental health settings. She has worked in residential and outpatient programs for adults and teens who are severely mentally ill. After losing her job at Sutter Health in 2021 due to Vaccine mandates, Pamela has been building a curriculum to guide parents through the mental health system. Her goal is to provide parents with the information and language so they can be the best advocates for their child's mental health. Pamela's mission is to educate parents on how to avoid therapists who lack skill or try to indoctrinate their children.  Get the full podcast episode on Locals: TheRuthInstitute.locals.com Watch our last interview with Pamela next: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmUhh5vp3po   Subscribe to Pamela’s Newsletter | Pamela Garfield-Jaeger | Substack   Follow Pamela on Substack: Pamela Garfield-Jaeger | Substack   Check out her website here: https://www.thetruthfultherapist.org/   Get Pamela’s new book “A Practical Response to Gender Distress: Tips and Tools for Families” here: https://www.amazon.com/Practical-Response-Gender-Distress-Families   These Woke TikToks Gave Me Brain Rot (Blaire White - a man presenting as a woman, where he says his gender distress was due, in part, to sexual assault) https://www.youtube.com/@TheBlaireWhiteProject   Have a question or a comment?
