Should we abolish internet anonymity? Is liberal hypocrisy worth defending? Welcome to The Argument, a weekly podcast from Jerusalem Demsas and Matthew Yglesias, where two friends argue about politics, policy, and whatever else is on their minds. This is a debate show for people who want the nitty-gritty without the typical screaming matches or softball interviews. Each week, one host argues a distinctive point of view — armed with facts and research, not just pundit bluster — and then Matthew and Jerusalem hash it out. New episodes post every Thursday. You can find The Argument on Substack, YouTube, and wherever you get your podcasts. www.theargumentmag.com","last_synced_at":"2026-07-09T16:20:30.719361+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-argument-7510944"},"episode":{"title":"Boy moms and Nazi POWs: how \"The Feminine Mystique\" changed feminism","slug":"boy-moms-and-nazi-pows-how-the-feminine-mystique-changed-feminism","published_at":"2026-05-07T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-argument-7510944/boy-moms-and-nazi-pows-how-the-feminine-mystique-changed-feminism","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-argument-7510944","url":"https://www.buzzsprout.com/2541989/episodes/19136597-boy-moms-and-nazi-pows-how-the-feminine-mystique-changed-feminism.mp3","audio_url":"https://www.buzzsprout.com/2541989/episodes/19136597-boy-moms-and-nazi-pows-how-the-feminine-mystique-changed-feminism.mp3","summary":"Betty Friedan thought Korean POWs were dying in captivity because their mothers were housewives. She thought boy moms were making their sons gay. She wrote a whole chapter comparing suburban kitchens to concentration camps — in 1963, while America was still processing what concentration camps actually were. \"The Feminine Mystique\" is one of those important books that everyone \"knows\" but no one has actually read.
