Back for Part 2? Weird. We normally have a dropoff of about a third of our viewers from part 1 of our episodes to part 2. Pat yourself on the back for remaining committed to your intellectual self improvement. No, please, take the time to do so. You've earned it.
Joel and Naomi continue discussing marriage, finally emerging from the depths of the Middle Ages to discuss modern times. Purity culture, age of consent, abstinence, counseling, and the birth control pill all rear their heads and help explain how marriage ends up in its modern state. That's not to say we accept everything at face value: we have a couple critiques of the text that we bring in during this episode.
You can find copies of Marriage, a History, here.
We strongly urge our listeners to support the work of Planned Parenthood by donating here. Patreon donations are sweet, but there are more important causes to support.
