I joined Julia Yost on the First Things podcast to talk about my article “How Vulgarity Normalizes Predators” and how abusers like Weinstein have an easier time hiding their abuse in plain sight when we accept moderate sexual harassment as just the way things are.
You can listen to the full episode here. I’m the guest for the first segment. In the final segment, one of the guests is a dog. Literally.
Excellent talk. I appreciated your defence of the concept of sexual addiction. Wiener is a good example of how we can be enslaved to habitual sin.
It’s a bit like reading Lewis’s Great Divorce—everyone’s tight grip on their own sins seems sad and ridiculous… but then you think of the ones you’re holding onto.
