#911 - Louise Perry - Has Modern Society Set Women Up For Failure?

Thu, 06 Mar 2025

Description

Louise Perry is a writer, Press Officer for the campaign group We Can’t Consent To This and an author. For generations, traditional gender roles have shaped society. Today, however, quality of life, mood, relationships, marriage, and even careers feel increasingly out of sync. How much of this can be attributed to shifting gender roles? And could embracing more traditional roles lead to a happier, more fulfilling, and sexually vibrant society? Expect to learn what the myth of female agency is, why Gen Z has an increasing problem of sexlessness, how social media is impacting relationship building in real life, why it seems right-wing or fascist to bring up declining birth rates, why the marriage rate in young people is plummeting, how much gender neutrality there can be in parenting, how relations between men and women changed since Louise wrote the case against the sexual revolution. and much more… Sponsors: See discounts for all the products I use and recommend: https://chriswillx.com/deals Get 20% off the cleanest bone broth on the market at https://www.kettleandfire.com/modernwisdom (use code MODERNWISDOM) Get a Free Sample Pack of all LMNT Flavours with your first purchase at https://drinklmnt.com/modernwisdom Get the Whoop 4.0 for free and get your first month for free at https://join.whoop.com/modernwisdom Extra Stuff: Get my free reading list of 100 books to read before you die: https://chriswillx.com/books Try my productivity energy drink Neutonic: https://neutonic.com/modernwisdom Episodes You Might Enjoy: #577 - David Goggins - This Is How To Master Your Life: https://tinyurl.com/43hv6y59 #712 - Dr Jordan Peterson - How To Destroy Your Negative Beliefs: https://tinyurl.com/2rtz7avf #700 - Dr Andrew Huberman - The Secret Tools To Hack Your Brain: https://tinyurl.com/3ccn5vkp - Get In Touch: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chriswillx Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/chriswillx YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/modernwisdompodcast Email: https://chriswillx.com/contact - Learn more about your ad choices.

Chapter 1: Are modern gender roles failing women?

00:00 - 00:01 Chris Williamson

Bonnie Blue might be pregnant.

0

00:02 - 00:17 Louise Perry

Good news? Very bad news. I mean, I would bet money that she is not pregnant. I would bet money also that Lily Phillips is not pregnant. What are the chances that the two of them are pregnant at exactly the same time. Come on.

0

00:17 - 00:20 Chris Williamson

That's a lot of sperm.

0

00:21 - 00:29 Louise Perry

Yes. I did see someone on Twitter saying that actually the most reliable contraception in the world, like the Marina coil has a one in a thousand.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Chris Williamson

That's a one 57 actually breaks it.

00:00 - 00:00 Louise Perry

Yeah. So I guess it's plausible. Um, but, uh, I really hope it's not true. I mean, I, yeah, I, I think it would be very likely that social services would get involved in all seriousness.

00:00 - 00:00 Chris Williamson

Wow, that's interesting. And I totally didn't think about that. Why would they get involved?

00:00 - 00:00 Louise Perry

Because it's very common for children to be taken away from mums if they are in prostitution. And the thing is that I think what social services are normally worried about is children being exposed to punters, like if they're coming into the home, which isn't happening with...

00:00 - 00:00 Chris Williamson

bonnie blue or lily phillips but it's like they i mean they do like work from home in the sense and like it's i think it would be very very difficult for to protect children completely yeah it's perilously similar and you know the word sex worker was reclaimed by only fans and online models and stuff like that and it kind of sex worker i guess 20 years ago would have been

Chapter 2: How does OnlyFans affect women's future prospects?

60:49 - 61:07 Chris Williamson

It tracks your heart rate, your sleep, your recovery, all of your workouts, your resting heart rate, heart rate variability, how much you're breathing throughout the night, and now can even track your steps. Puts all of this into an app and spits out very simple to understand and fantastically usable data. It's phenomenal.

That's join.whoop.com slash modern wisdom. Yeah, that's exactly what I had in mind. This is the first time I've heard anyone put words to it, but it makes complete sense. It's natal fatalism, right?

61:44 - 62:04 Chris Williamson

We are on this particular set of rollercoaster tracks. Just to call it out for the people that maybe aren't behavioral genetics pilled, your political ideology, the positions that you tend to take on lots of issues is... highly predisposed by your personality and your personality is highly predisposed by its heritable, it's disposed by your parents.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Chris Williamson

If you are part of a ideological group, which is less likely to have children, that means that that group's genes, the ideology genes are less likely to be passed on, which means that that ideology gets less predisposed to over time and dies out. So you end up with over time, you should do basically people who have kids have kids and those kids are more likely to be the kid having type of kids

00:00 - 00:00 Chris Williamson

which means that they continue. But if you've got this squeeze that we're going through at the moment, it may end up looking a lot like an hourglass where you have sort of wide, lots of people liberated, everyone can do it. You get some technologies and some environmental changes, which causes this to stop.

00:00 - 00:00 Chris Williamson

And then you select out and then come through on the other side when you have a critical mass of people who are the children of kid havers, even in the new environment. And then you get through that. But you're right. I mean, the next...

00:00 - 00:00 Chris Williamson

300 years probably i don't know has anyone done far out like real far out projections like centuries away projections to see when this sort of thing would rebound um if anyone has it's probably malcolm and simone collins um i mean they've definitely spoken about the risk actually of having a j curve in terms of population explosion where the

00:00 - 00:00 Louise Perry

very, very fertile people have selected for so aggressively, which is I think what's happening right now, that actually you see this massive explosion when they get to the next generation.
