Conservatives have been slamming Call Her Daddy podcast host Alex Cooper for getting married and embracing motherhood after creating a podcast that failed to shame women for having premarital sex. Their criticisms ring ridiculously out of touch. Many center on the supposed unlikelihood of a woman being able to snag a husband after hooking up with others in her 20s, while some simply seem angry at an openly promiscuous woman not being punished for it.
Cooper "has some atoning to do," writes Ashley McGuire at the Institute for Family Studies, citing the podcast host's "destructive ideas" about casual sex. McGuire links to a piece about Cooper saying it's OK to kiss or even have sex on a first date and cites Cooper telling women "you do not need to be denying yourself pleasure to prove some arbitrary point."
