In this bonus episode exclusively for founding members, my husband and I respond to this question from Martin:“How much do you think skeptics of the sexual revolution ought to stress the importance of personal responsibility, and to what extent should we discriminate between men and women while doing so? When trying to convince my male friends to give up porn, for example, I find that the ‘limbic capitalism’ argument is an amusing diversion, but it’s more persuasive to tell them that they’ve got a responsibility to stop exploiting vulnerable young women, that the shame of what they’re enjoying would be obvious to them if the woman on the screen were someone they cherished and respected and wanted the best for - in other words, by paying them the compliment of regarding them as moral agents capable of making better choices. I feel squeamish about invoking the same principle of personal responsibility when it comes to female participants in the sexual revolution, and victim-blaming is a real and deplorable thing, but I also feel that this squeamishness - which I sense you share - needs a limiting principle. Do you agree? And if so, what do you think it is?” This is a public episode.

Finally, do you think that your own attractiveness impacted the positive reception your book has gotten? My sense is that the same book written by an ugly woman would not be taken as seriously (which is of course a shame), but would love to hear your thoughts.We cover vaginoplasty, ‘Turkey teeth’ (pictured above), and whether or not Kim K has had bum implants.

Charlie Peters is a GB News journalist and filmmaker. His latest documentary, Grooming Gangs: Britain's Shame, is now available to watch on YouTube. Charlie and I spoke about the scale of the grooming gangs scandal, the timeline of events, the people involved, and the nitty gritty of it all. Charlie spent the last 18 months travelling up and down the country learning everything there is to know about this scandal, and he’s come to some conclusions about why it has been neglected in the way that it has. Be warned that this is tough viewing – this isn’t nice, but it is important, and it has been shamefully neglected in the media to date. Charlie is doing his best to change that. The MMM podcast can also be found on Apple, Spotify, and all other streaming platforms.
