Modern Wisdom
The Extreme Crisis of Young Women - Freya India - #1090

I mean, a lot of these young women define their lives by DSM diagnosis that were basically voted by rich white men.

Modern Wisdom
The Extreme Crisis of Young Women - Freya India - #1090

No, the actual pharmaceutical labels.

Modern Wisdom
The Extreme Crisis of Young Women - Freya India - #1090

So all of these industries have the influence of rich white men that they hate.

Modern Wisdom
The Extreme Crisis of Young Women - Freya India - #1090

But because I draw different conclusions from them and because I have the cultural stuff in there about divorce and porn, all of these sort of conservative coded concerns, then the whole book has to be dangerous.

Modern Wisdom
The Extreme Crisis of Young Women - Freya India - #1090

And so a lot of it, yeah, is young women warning each other.

Modern Wisdom
The Extreme Crisis of Young Women - Freya India - #1090

Because divorce is now how women self-actualize.

Modern Wisdom
The Extreme Crisis of Young Women - Freya India - #1090

And so I talk in the book actually about going from the normalization of divorce to the glamorization of divorce and then divorce being a means to self-fulfillment and self-expression.

Modern Wisdom
The Extreme Crisis of Young Women - Freya India - #1090

Yeah.

Modern Wisdom
The Extreme Crisis of Young Women - Freya India - #1090

And basically I think that

Modern Wisdom
The Extreme Crisis of Young Women - Freya India - #1090

Women interpret that as me saying women should stay with the absolute worst husbands at all costs.

Modern Wisdom
The Extreme Crisis of Young Women - Freya India - #1090

But really, I think that the normalization and glamorization of divorce hurts women as well, hurts wives, and it hurts children.

Modern Wisdom
The Extreme Crisis of Young Women - Freya India - #1090

She's amazing.

Modern Wisdom
The Extreme Crisis of Young Women - Freya India - #1090

That was a great episode.

Modern Wisdom
The Extreme Crisis of Young Women - Freya India - #1090

Yeah, I think the way I view it is I think some, again, it's overthinking a natural instinct a lot of the time.

Modern Wisdom
The Extreme Crisis of Young Women - Freya India - #1090

Like if you think about divorce, a child's parents splitting apart and not living in the same household with the child.

Modern Wisdom
The Extreme Crisis of Young Women - Freya India - #1090

That's going to harm the child.

Modern Wisdom
The Extreme Crisis of Young Women - Freya India - #1090

I don't really need data sets and research for that to seem true.

Modern Wisdom
The Extreme Crisis of Young Women - Freya India - #1090

That feels true.

Modern Wisdom
The Extreme Crisis of Young Women - Freya India - #1090

And you see it playing out with people who've had divorced parents where they carry that into relationships.

Modern Wisdom
The Extreme Crisis of Young Women - Freya India - #1090

And that's what's interesting is progressives love attachment theory and they love talking about abandonment issues, but they never talk about what's causing those abandonment issues.
