I'm a millennial, like my generation's brand of feminism, which was essentially very like girl bossy, lean in, like if you work hard, you can have it all type of feminism. I think that Gen Z, Women are sort of seeing that correctly to be a sham and sort of leaning into the opposite direction, like just going totally further on the other side of the pendulum.

And that's where a lot of this is coming from. I think a lot of a lot of the increasing conservatism is. for Gen Z women, it's this frustration with Me Too, this backlash against Me Too. And it's also this, I think in some ways, justifiable backlash against the version of feminism that they have been

So she'll do research, as she puts it, which is essentially, like, culling together a lot of different stuff that she finds on Reddit or stuff that, like, she calls them her... TikTok mommy sleuths, her fans sent her from TikTok. And she sort of presents them with the veneer of facts, even though she doesn't really like do the fact checking or the reporting to bear it out.
