Should we be free range parents? David and Eugene discuss the concept of raising children in the spirit of greater independence and less supervision. And while both of us applaud the notion that children should take risks, make mistakes, and learn from failure, in our opinion, free range parenting has one MAJOR flaw that keeps us from calling ourselves FRP's. Thank you as always for listening!

“You don't remember the times your dad held your handle bars. You remember the day he let go.” - Lenore Skenazy
This episode started as a bit of an accident, but led to something really great. Eugene was once asked (possibly by me!), "Do you consider yourself a feminist?" That question apparently led down a rabbit hole and ultimately to today's topic. And rather than having two dudes mansplaining feminism, we asked Professor Jennifer Lee Koh to join our conversation. In this episode, we talk about what feminism means to us, the underlying institution it's actually seeking to upend, and how feminism wins the future. Special thanks to Jennifer Lee Koh for gracing us with her thoughts and insight! And thank you for listening!

"Patriarchy is not the natural order of things. It's not that we can't help it. In fact, it's the opposite. We helped create it. Which means that change is not only possible, it's probable." - Liz Plank
