Spa Wars

This episode stimulated my milk production and I haven’t nursed a baby in 13 years

I wish that the culture of Wi Spa was discussed a bit more.. trans activists invading and pushing their ideology into a conservative space like a jimbilbang is wild

Yeah I think you’re wildly oversimplifying the situation. If you believe that trans women are women, then the presence or absence of any particular biological feature is not alone dispositive when it comes to determining whether or not someone is a woman. This is not a result of “nothing meaning anything” or a “rejection of objective reality.” Gender, like monetary value, is a complex phenomenon that consists of both overt physical facts together with social facts. Just bc gender is, in part, socially constructed does not mean it’s less real or less objective.

Ladies, you called it re: White Lotus. Last night’s latest ep showed the two girls reading Paglia!

If the world were just, everyone who started as an idealist with big dreams but ended up at some perfectly-tolerable job where they interact with minors should be made to wear gigantic cuckold horns covered in a QR code that texts you their entire financial history

Re: harm of grifters, the problem isn't today's kids taking them seriously, or even that they will have to pretend to not hear their bullshit detectors go off while they work woke jobs-- my fear is that more and more "opportunities" will incentivize telling your story of trauma and belonging until you have entire fields of study, down to a man, where the call of the bullshit detector is coming from inside the house. Like, the cool teacher who makes you read Camus is the DNC's equivalent of a military recruiter, except he doesn't usually wear a costume that reminds you his enthusiasms are bad for you. At least his path leads to food stamps and not CPTSD?

Ehhhh i don't think its transphobic to fundamentally deny men into women's spaces. I think that the only solution is to have a third option for gendered spaces. But look, honestly it's really got nothing to do with trans people. Its really to do with the ideology that nothing means anything and we just ought abandon objective reality. The objective reality is that majority of women are going to absolutely oppose seeing a penis in a woman's only space. Its just common sense at this point. And as an non American im looking and you guys over there and I honestly think you've all been equally indoctrinated by both the right and the left. There is nuance in this. I really don't care that trans people exist, but women make up half of the population on this planet.... its very obvious that women aren't going to like the idea of men... even if they identify as women in female only spaces. But this discussion is so pointless. All that is going to happen is people are going to become more intolerant to actual gender dysphoric people. Its clear that this whole trans thing has been appropriated by the left and its become a social contagion. This is all so boring to me. Like wow who would've fucking thought? Women don't want biological men with their dicks out in their spaces? Its really not that big of a deal. Just create a unisex option. Simple as.

listening to this while working out for the T boost

Lance Audette

seriously… she talks about being nouveau riche yet can’t get a nanny to watch the kid for a couple of hours?

Ben

Honey get a babysitter. Plan ahead to deliver for your audience.

ana is watching too much hrh collection, shes starting to do the thing where she interrupts herself mid sentence to embody the voice of her haters

Baby squirmies added a lot to this ep

NO way. Address the olfactory IMMEDIATELY.

also would love to hear a reaction to the leandra medine cutting room floor interviews once p2 is out..

lmao unhealthy body standards stem first from not seeing varied bodies at for example the spa. kids are oversheltered from bodies then curiosity kicks in and of course they go online and look at porn and develop complexes on how they should look and how they should age and how they should have sex... we worry about protecting our kids from themselves (them being traumatized by seeing a penis at the spa even though nothing bad happened) instead of taking charge and raising kids to be adults that dont have these fucked up complexes

always appreciate when TLP is referenced

The baby’s little huffing and puffing 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

They're all about mining the asteroid belt and leaving terrestrial taxation. The first bank set up off world is going to make Bitcoin look like a convenience store.

Say what you will about these ladies, this was one of the best episodes I have heard in very long time. Really brilliant analysis

Josh Legere

There’s a pretty upsetting video of a solo woman protesting, and being harassed by a group of freaks in a very degrading way :( This shit is insane. Any genuine trans person will tell you they are just trying to be discreet and live in the binary of the other sex. Only sadists get off coercively compelling people to lie/placate their disingenuous sick games. I suspect Anna and Dasha get harassed anytime they talk about this shit from “activists”.

Feenabobina

For safeguarding reasons, most people won't want their teenage daughter naked in a changing room with a fully intact male. Trans or not. You can't check and validate intention at the door. A 3rd space seems like a better option.

I think we should just change the gender difference to "dicks" and "pussies" Just have a big old dick in front to the bathroom for the people with cocks and balls and a big old gaping pussy for the people with nanas.

the diet coke at the beginning lol

Let's be realistic here - the time, effort, and money required to make the moon or Mars inhabitable for humans is a zero sum game. It's a pipe dream, but more likely really just a dick measuring contest by disingenuous uber rich. We actually have an inhabitable planet that we currently live on lol. What's applicable on the Moon or Mars is not at all applicable on Earth. And are you not aware of what space travel/living in space does to the human body? It's incredibly hard on the human body and mind. Let's get our heads out of the clouds, no pun intended...keep it in the sci-fi movies/books until we address very real issues first.

The space conversation is soooo lame and lacks any imagination. I love you both but jesus look more into the history of innovation. Dasha: "I love air travel!" OK do you know what PMC losers said 100 years ago about air travel???? "...even if a machine could get across with one or two passengers the expense would be prohibitive to any but the capitalist who could use his own yacht." - William H. Pickering, 1910 -via https://pessimistsarchive.substack.com/p/air-and-space-travel-was-once-called And let's not talk about opportunity costs. Everything is a "waste" when famine or climate change exist but at least space tech could help us solve those problems. Miu Miu runway shows won't help solve anything but I still want Miu Miu to exist and for someone (def not me) to get excited about it. Irrespective of Bezos's business practices people hating on him for going into space is for pessimist omegas.

Changey

having kids is gay as fuck anyway

admiral stiffplank

The fag hag mentality means you automatically give the benefit of the doubt to any faggy male who wants to be in women’s spaces. This whole queer theory gender identity extremism is completely out of control, yet the only people to confront it in the streets are halfwits like cubana angel.

Ben

I don't even know what sounding like an old dog MEANS, ahaha

“it’s alienating, in a familiar way, so I don’t mind” - damn. The wisdom of Dasha.

Been a minute since a guest ep in general.

your baby sounds like an old dog

ladies can you please have Ben Mora on the pod again?

Cool episode

Mateo Sánchez Fitzgerald

The reason the modern left (in America) doesn’t care about having kids or promoting motherhood (or anything trad) is bc with our extreme hyper-global-capitalist-soul-sucking wealth we can literally just leech them off of 3rd world countries. We don’t have to think that much about making kids at all or even raising them really. They can be raised in other countries and brought here. But is it sustainable? or ethical?

I have younger brothers in high school and work in child psych and Anna's point is 100% true. I can only speak on what I see, but the guys know the correct scripts, are barely having sex compared to when I was their age, and the humor is very much the right-wing memes. However, I am seeing a shift in which they are recognizing the dangers of porn consumption, especially ED which (rightfully) scares them. The incel jokes are also a motivation to get out and meet girls for themselves because no one wants to end up like that.

Longtime listener who still gets weirdly jarred when the ladies get puritanical

Finally something I substantively disagree with the ladies on. The WaPo article is right. Space *is* the future and if getting us there faster means some rich assholes have a joy ride, OKAY — but the resources that went in to getting them up there are re-used, as well as R&D that NASA just doesn’t have the libido to sustain.

Theo

Completely agree about the doxing/entrapment vids. Sick and disturbing. Big fan of Dr. Debrah Soh’s column about this issue.
