Summary

Author Peachy Keenan sits down with Bridget to discuss her first book, Domestic Extremist: A Practical Guide To Winning The Culture War . They talk about operating under a pseudonym, staying anonymous on Twitter regarding her right wing beliefs to protect her job working in Hollywood, the left wing presumption that everyone is in agreement with their views in corporate culture, how she became a social conservative after meeting her husband, having 5 children in this day and age and being looked at like she's some kind extremist for doing so. They cover parenthood, trying to be a comedy writer, why young men are having a hard time finding women who share their political beliefs, how chemistry can’t be conveyed in dating app profile, the highs and lows of marriage, the effect of divorce on children, the response to her book, why there are more people out there who agree with you than you might think, and whether or not they should start hosting dating events together.
