Welcome to the Breakpoint podcast. One of the perks of my job is every once in a while, you get a preview copy.

Actually, not every once in a while. I get about four or five books a week and several articles a week.

But the upside of that is you get a sneak peek into things that I know that our folks are going to want to know about and hear about.

You might remember just several months ago here on the Breakpoint podcast, I had the privilege of interviewing my guest who is back with us today.

One of the more important public intellectuals in American culture, certainly one of the more important conservative intellectuals, a tremendous writer who has written, I mean, she's written a ton,

so it would be hard to kind of sum it all up, but specifically the work that she's done on the

sexual revolution and the impact of the sexual revolution has been just absolutely must

reading, if you really want to understand the impact on American culture.

Mary Eberstadt, you might remember we talked to her about her tremendous book,

Primal Screams, just a couple weeks ago.

And we'll link to that at breakpoint.org if you come visit us.

But she's got an article that is just out in First Things.

Of course, First Things is one of the, I think, the must-subscribe

publications in America based out of New York City, founded by the late Richard John Newhouse,

who was a close collaborator of Chuck Colson. Mary Eberstadt has written a article

that I think explains so much of what we've seen over the last couple months.

It's called The Fury of the Fatherless. And in light of our recent conversation with Dr.

Anthony Bradley, I just thought about fathering. I just thought this conversation was incredibly important.

Mary Ebersstadt, welcome to the Breakpoint podcast again. Thank you, John. It's always a pleasure to talk with you.

Well, you know, first of all, when I read articles like this, I think two things. Wow, this is a very,

very helpful analysis. And secondly, she's going to get in a lot of trouble for this one.

I think you're going to, you might get in a lot of trouble for this one, but I don't think that's probably strange territory for you.
