Summary

This week on the pod, the girls talk to author, podcaster and former chief content officer of goop, Elise Loehnen. Elise has co-written twelve books, five of which have been New York Times bestsellers, and Em and Alex are joined by her to discuss her latest, On Our Best Behaviour: The Price Women Pay to be Good.

Why can women rarely recover from their failures? Why is the patriarchy so devastating to boys and men?

Elise shares her manifesto, which argues that the seven deadly sins (lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride) have been used by the patriarchy to control women throughout our history. This fascinating theory expands on our episode with Jameela Jamil, back in January 2022, in which the girls spoke about why, as a society, we build women up only to tear them down.

0:00.0	I'm so pleased that one of my all-time fatal brands, Simprewd, is sponsoring the podcast.
0:04.8	I have been taking the Got Health supplement for five years and you know how integral it is to my
0:10.3	daily routine now. I do know you've been telling me to take it for years now but it wasn't until I
0:15.1	did my egg freezing and the consultant recommended I start taking it that I finally took the plunge
0:20.1	and it's become integral to my routine now too. Every 70 millilitre morning shot of Simprew
0:24.8	delivered billions of active alive bacteria to the gut in a water-based formula.
0:30.9	It tastes good too. I like the mango and passion fruit flavor so after taking it you wait 10 minutes
0:36.2	let it reach your gut and do its thing before then having your morning cup of tea or coffee or
0:40.5	breakfast however you like to start your day. I'm exactly the same with the mango and passion fruit
0:44.5	and Simprewd in general has been so beneficial to my gut and I honestly cannot live without it now
0:49.6	and it's definitely not just me, 94% of Simprewd customers see a difference after taking it.

1:12.4	at simprewd.com forward slash delete. That's delete50 because subscribing is the best way to keep
1:18.4	on top of your gut health. That's what's amazing about women. It's like we are boxers training at
1:32.0	high altitude. I think as soon as we start consciously getting behind each other then I think the
1:37.8	world will start to rapidly change and a way that I think will be quite relieving to men.
1:43.6	Hello and welcome back to the should I delete that podcast? I'm Em Clarkson and I'm Alex Light and
