In this powerful episode of The Dr. J Show, Leah Sargeant discusses her book The Dignity of Dependence: A Feminist Manifesto, challenging the modern assumption that equality means sameness or autonomy without need. She argues that true human dignity is found not in independence, but in recognizing our fundamental interdependence—especially in a culture that often dismisses vulnerability as weakness. Drawing from personal experiences, including miscarriage and the realities of infertility, Leah explores how men and women process loss differently, how these differences can create misunderstanding in marriage, and why justice requires responding to real human needs rather than imposing ideological uniformity. The conversation also examines abortion, euthanasia, feminism, and the asymmetries within relationships, ultimately pointing toward a richer vision of love, vulnerability, and the essential role women play in building a civilization grounded in mutual dependence and enduring commitment.

In this conversation, Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse and Joanna Hyatt discuss the importance of building a foundation of truth for young mothers, the impact of past trauma on parenting, and how to navigate difficult conversations about sexuality with children. They explore Joanna's undercover investigations in the abortion industry, the need for parents to empower their children to discuss tough topics, and the connection between sex, babies, and family. The discussion culminates in the idea of raising 'rebels' who challenge the norms of the sexual revolution and embrace a holistic understanding of sexuality.

Walt Heyer had it all: married to a beautiful woman, father of two wonderful children, he got to work on the Apollo space mission, and was even a high ranking employee at a big tech firm. But he had a deep, dark secret, that he had kept from everyone as long as he could remember. He was a secret cross dresser. From the time he was 13 he had an alternate persona: Crystal West. He would act out as a transvestite at home secretly and continued his confused gender role-play as a married man. In the 1980's, he sought help from the best gender gender specialists and was proscribed the nascent WPATH protocol. He was given hormones, and MtF surgeries, and had his legal documentation changed to represent his new name: Laura Jensen. It brought him euphoria and relief - for eight years. Then it all came crashing down. Since his recovery of his God-given biology, Walt has campaigned for everyone impacted by transgender ideology to find healing and treated fairly.

Tucker Carlson latest episode asks 'why are you gay'?. I haven't finished listening to it but he should speak to Ruth Institute for this topic

by Faith Hakesley at Advice from a Survivor

Words matter. The way we speak about difficult, painful, or controversial topics has power. Our language has the power to heal, to harm, to clarify, or to confuse.

While we shouldn’t fall into the trap of becoming “PR police,” obsessively tiptoeing around every word in fear of offending someone (which is ultimately impossible), we do need to be conscious of how our language shapes understanding. This is especially true when it comes to something as serious as abuse.
