I will never hear "that takes a village" without thinking back on an interview I heard with Hillary and Chelsea. The apple did not fall from from the tree, and the performative nonsense was thick, thicker than anything I hear in conservative-adjacent media. I think the interview was on NPR. I will never not appreciate the individual aspect of the right. The left and its attitude that the best one can ever do is to do a trust-fall into the mob, will always be disgusting to me.

Well that was the name of Hilary’s book, so you’re not alone in thinking of her when you hear that phrase.

It was actually a different book, something about women in history, which was the motivation of the interview. I think Chelsea co-wrote it. Or edited it.

Yeah it was "The Book of Gutsy Women" by Hillary and Chelsea. So gross. A right wing talking point I heard was that Thatcher was not included in the list.

His talk makes sense.
(But, if I can be a nitpick. I dont like that he pauses for "applause". Kind of like he is forcing it from people)

Maher is right, but I'm not sure some privileged college kid protesting gender apartheid on an American university campus will make one bit of difference in the Muslim world.

Agree. I think it was you who pointed out that most of the protestors really have no idea what they are protesting for.

By the way what does any of that have to do with Mahar’s piece on gender apartheid?
There's a certain directional equivalence between the Hillary/Chelsea collaboration and the attitude Maher is commenting on, if you'd care to devote a thought to understanding rather than dunking. My mind makes zoomed out connections, it is a curse.
