  • Episode 2: Jo-Ann Finkelstein - Sexism & Sensibility
    Jan 31 2025

    Raising girls has never been easy but in the age of social media it’s even harder. According to a 2024 study by the CDC over half of teen girls feel “persistently sad or hopeless.”

    In this episode of The Progressive Page Turner I talk with Jo-Ann Finkelstein about her book Sexism & Sensibility. She has over twenty years experience helping girls face toxic messages about beauty, sex and femininity and offers advice for parents trying to raise confident girls in a culture that often demeans them.

But blue states are not entirely without weapons in this war for the soul of the nation. In this episode I talk with David Noll, author of Vigilante Nation.
