Retrograde gender roles are not healthy
Thanks to everyone who watched the premiere of “Standing Room Only!” The feedback was great and really boosted my mood. You can help spread the word by sharing, liking, and subscribing.
The second episode is up now and it’s a doozy. Guest Lindsay Beyerstein and I talk about how HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy and Surgeon General nominee Casey Means are reskinning tired Christian right ideas in “wellness” garb.
Freedom of no choice
In today’s breakout clip, Lindsay and I chat about how RFK calls himself a “freedom of choice person,” but is actually taking choices away.
Stay to the end for Friday’s question: “What false MAHA belief do you wish were true?” Lindsay and I talked about ours and I’d love to hear your answers in comments!
