Summary

Chelsea is joined by Jameela Jamil (Wrong Turns podcast) to dig into one of the most talked-about essays on the internet: “Don’t Have Children,” by Kate Manne. They debate whether it’s a feminist call to arms or too narrow to be a real rallying cry. From the failures of U.S. healthcare to the politics of reproductive labor, they take on burnout, birth rates, and the power in choosing not to reproduce.
