Sarah Haider Says Don't Label Yourself

Original Air Date - 10/20/22
Bridget sits down with Sarah Haider, writer, activist and podcaster, for a wide ranging conversation covering Sarah's thoughts as an ex-Muslim on the reaction of the Progressive left when you criticize Islam, how little the lived experiences of those who disagree with the woke orthodoxy matters, why she thinks western feminism died a while back, her experience immigrating from Pakistan as a child, what she observed growing up in a lower class neighborhood, and how her activism and speaking out against Islam was a form of social death for her parents. They also discuss Sarah's ambivalence about the value of putting yourself in a group, why it affects your intellectual honesty, whether we can claim any kind of community outside of religion and faith, the unraveling of community in America, and why supporting young, working mothers should be a priority in our society. Check out Sarah's writing on her substack Hold That Thought . And don't miss her podcast with Meghan Daum, A Special Place in Hell.
