What is up, daddy?
Gang?
It is your founding father, Alex Cooper, with call her daddy, daddy.
Naomi Snyder.
Welcome to call her daddy.
Thank you.
Naomi is a practicing psychoanalyst in New York City, and she lectures and publishes on the intersections of social injustice and psychological struggle.
Prior to her work as a psychoanalyst, Naomi worked as a lawyer in the human rights field.
I actually discovered your work, Naomi, by a recommendation from none other than the great Jane Fonda.
Oh, my goodness.
Jane Fonda has heard of this book that I was already excited.
I was like, how on earth did Alex Cooper hear about this book?
And then to hear that it came to you through Jane Fonda, that blows my mind.
Wow.
She's truly, the day that I met her, I think my life was changed forever.
She's incredible.
And I know, obviously, that you and psychologist Carol Gilligan co authored this book that we're going to talk about a lot today called why does patriarchy persist?
And it was originally published five years ago.
And in your opinion, I have to ask, is patriarchy still persisting?
Great question.
