“Call Her Daddy” podcaster Alex Cooper just announced that she and her husband Matt Kaplan are expecting their first baby. Cooper arguably runs the biggest female-hosted podcast in the world, where she has built a media empire centered around modern feminism, casual sex, abortion, hookup culture, and contemporary dating.
Feminism has wreaked havoc on our culture, feeding detrimental false promises to women for years. Yet stories like this continue to reveal a deeper contradiction: many of the same voices — like Cooper’s — that spent years downplaying marriage, motherhood, and family ultimately still desire those very things themselves.
