The Case Against the Sexual Revolution
About the episode
“If what we want is to feel safe so that we are free to express and embody our feminine gifts, then we have to acknowledge the ways in which we have participated in creating a dominant culture that compromises our bodily, our psychological and our spiritual sense of safety.”
— Dr. Kelly Brogan
In this episode, Kelly explores the notion that the sexual revolution has led to confusion about femininity, female biology, and women's roles in society. She examines women's physical vulnerability, the influence of contraceptives, and the reality of hookup culture. She also delves into three myths associated with the sexual revolution based on Louise Perry's views and critiques the modern work environment and consumer culture, suggesting they exploit women rather than liberate them.
