The last thing we expected in attending “The Gen-Z Debate with Harry Sisson and Isabel Brown” at the University of Virginia was that these ideological opponents would find common ground on the family. But a sharp exchange on feminism, family, and marriage between the conservative Brown and the progressive Sisson ended on a surprising note of consensus.
Brown, a popular podcast host for The Daily Wire, began the back-and-forth on family and feminism by saying that she had been attacked by the liberal hosts of “The View” for saying that “the best way to promote the human flourishing we’ve so desperately been missing in Western civilization is to have the courage to get married and have children.”
She went on to argue that feminists are telling women that “children will hold you back. They will destroy your career. They will destroy your relationships. They will destroy your friendships and so much more.”
Her broader point at the debate, sponsored by The Free Press, was that the political left is now a vehicle for anti-family messaging and values that are discouraging Americans, especially young women, from embracing marriage, motherhood, and family life.
