What Feminist Women Get Wrong About Non-Feminist Women (And Vice Versa)

from First Principles · host Adrian Wells

What if everything you think you know about the feminist vs. non-feminist divide is based on stereotypes instead of facts? In this eye-opening episode, Adrian Wells cuts through the noise to examine what research actually reveals about how women with different perspectives approach work, relationships, and family life. 🎯 What You'll Learn: • Why 61% of feminist women are married (spoiling the "anti-family" stereotype) • How women in their 20s now out-earn men in major cities, but this flips after 30 • The real reasons maternal employment has flatlined at 70% since 2000 • What high-quality daycare studies show about mother-child attachment 👤 Perfect for: lifelong learners and anyone who's tired of oversimplified takes on complex social issues. This isn't about picking sides. It's about understanding the actual data behind two groups of women who probably have more in common than Twitter would have you believe. You'll walk away with a clearer picture of what drives different choices around career, family, and identity. 📍 Chapters: [00:00] Adrian Wells breaks down the real numbers [01:45] The marriage myth that won't die [03:30] Why earning patterns reverse after 30 [05:15] What happened to the working mom trend [07:00] The daycare attachment study results [09:30] Where both sides actually agree [11:00] Key insights you can apply today The research might surprise you.
