Emily Ratajkowski's essay in The Cut describes intentionally embracing promiscuity as post-divorce empowerment — dressing provocatively for her 5-year-old's school pickup to 'punish men.' Candace argues this is clinical depression masquerading as feminism, and the most degrading piece of writing she's encountered in years.

The tonal shift is deliberate: Candace moves from geopolitical conspiracy to pop culture, but the thematic line is continuous — both segments are about what happens when women are misdirected by powerful systems, whether trafficking networks or feminist ideology. The subject is Emily Ratajkowski's essay 'Mother Effer' published in The Cut, which Candace's team apparently could not excerpt much from because of how sexually explicit it is [1] — Candace Owens "Emily Ratajkowski's essay in The Cut describes intentionally embracing promiscuity as post-divorce empowerment — dressing provocatively for…" 33:05 . Ratajkowski, known for nude appearances in the Robin Thicke 'Blurred Lines' video and subsequent Victoria's Secret work, writes about her post-divorce period as a conscious self-reinvention through promiscuity — casting herself as a comic-book villain character (Poison Ivy, Catwoman) who drinks gin martinis and uses men. Candace reads key passages: Ratajkowski's declaration that she 'decided to F her way into a new kind of woman,' her self-congratulatory account of leaving men's beds to be home for her 5-year-old, and her description of dressing in shorts and lip liner for school pickup to provocatively 'navigate the cliquish politics of school drop-off.' Candace's verdict is emphatic: this is not empowerment but a public document of severe depression, possibly linked to postpartum disorder and a traumatic birth. She worries most about what the essay will mean to Ratajkowski's son when he is old enough to read it, and closes with a call for young women listening not to follow this path.

Erin Brockovich describes data center expansion as 'a full-on assault' hitting communities across water, electricity, noise, air pollution, and land loss. She calls it the biggest bipartisan conversation she's seen in her 30-year career — and warns that tech companies didn't see the coming backlash.
Demanding an emergency fund balance on a first date is the wrong approach. What you're really looking for is someone with character, maturity, and a direction — not a perfect financial snapshot. You can build a budget in 20 minutes; you can't build character that fast.
The fear of not being financially ready to have children is almost always a failure to run the real budget. On $110K a year, you can afford a child. What you can't afford is the fantasy nursery, the bigger car, and staying home on one income without a plan.
You've already said enough. The enabling, the financial dysfunction, the fear it'll land in your lap — if you can't say yes with full confidence, the answer is no. Tell Mom to rent a cheap one-bedroom, sell her house, and buy a condo near the grandkids instead.
Bobby watching a father hold his baby triggered an existential moment: he and Andrew might be missing fatherhood. They priced out adoption ($40K–$70K private, $0–$2K foster care) and briefly considered adopting a child to timeshare like a condo.
In 1950, 60% of the world lived in extreme poverty. Today it's roughly 1 in 10. Capitalism and economic growth did that — nothing else has ever worked at scale. The challenge now isn't generating enough wealth; it's building the political will to distribute it.
The manosphere begins with genuinely useful advice — get fit, be ambitious, find a partner. But it rapidly devolves into dominance, misogyny, and crypto university grifts. The most famous manosphere figures are running $50-a-month Ponzi schemes, exploiting the very loneliness they pretend to cure.
Throughout human history, only 40% of men have ever reproduced. Romantic success has never been guaranteed — it has always required effort, self-development, and resilience. The incel movement's core lie is telling men they're owed something that no man has ever been owed.
The most common word Scott Galloway has heard in his life is no. That's not a failure — it's the mechanism through which great yeses are earned. For shy young men, the path forward is simple: approach people, accept rejection, repeat. Resilience to discomfort is the only real competitive advantage.
