Joe Rogan introduces Rachel Wilson after her husband Andrew mentioned her book. The book is Occult Feminism: The Secret History of Women's Liberation. Rogan shares that he had little opinion on feminism before listening, viewing some feminists as unhappy with men or their lives, but the book revealed its origins as bonkers.

Rachel grew up in advanced classes from kindergarten, pushed toward college and career as the only option. After 12 years of school, she realized public school isn't great for smart people and didn't want four more years. She wanted to marry and have kids, horrifying her Marxist feminist mother. She was the 'why' kid, questioning everything, with a Rush Limbaugh Republican dad. Parents divorced when she was nine. Grew up in two worlds: Republican business owner dad and Marxist feminist mom.

Mom was always Marxist feminist; dad always Rush Limbaugh Republican. They met at work, had a fling; Rachel was an oops baby. Dad committed to make it work. They didn't discuss ideologies initially. Mom hated dad irrationally as an evil white patriarchist bad Republican man. Early memory: parents fighting over Bush-Dukakis 1988 election, threatening to lock each other to prevent vote cancellation.

Kitty Dukakis drank rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover due to alcoholism and amphetamine addiction pressures pre-social media. She was open about struggles to reduce stigma, detailed in books. Democrats then were like current Republicans; Michael Dukakis rode in a tank to appear pro-war tough. Bush: 'read my lips, no new taxes.'
