Host Dennis Leap and special guest Deborah Leap discuss Charles Krauthammer’s attention-catching essay “‘Women and Children.’ Still?” In this essay, Krauthammer mused on why 1997 audiences watching the movie Titanic booed when men jumped into lifeboats before women and children. Shouldn’t feminism’s drive for equality have eliminated such a reaction? As the Leaps discuss, feminism cannot change the inherent, biological character traits of men and women.
