Ngl, my respect for Bonnie kinda went up after listening to the full episode. She came across as reasonable and her personality came off as rather sweet and nice, even if her career choice would be considered a moral failing by most.

There was an interesting comment on the YouTube video that I though was insightful where someone said she almost has a similar mental fortitude to soldiers/spec ops guys in that she can do something that would sicken most people (women in this case) but she can still sleep well after it. Almost like a mental superpower. I thought it was interesting observation.

I saw that one too. I would agree with you that her choice of career is less than moral, but I do think that on the whole people like her with that personality are useful to everyone, if deployed in the eight way.

What struck me about BB was that she displayed a similar behaviour of both Louise and Chris. On their respective podcasts I've heard them both, when confronted with a word or topic that they don't know, simply ask their guest straight out rather than pretend that they know.

Bonnie did this 6-7 times during the podcast, with words from both Louise and Chris, without a hint of her feeling stupid at not knowing. I'd say this was a positive thing.

Definitely Louise's old roots in anthropology came through, trying to understand the tribeswoman from this thoroughly alien culture...

She's not the most hated woman in Britain. That's just more of the gaping maw of need for attention.

You were so kind to her! It was more of an analysis than a debate.

Your line of questioning and tactics were interesting but she’s boring to someone like me who knows a lot of happy and industrious sluts and prostitutes personally. What was exposed are the unusual characteristics that make her, as opposed to the majority of womankind, capable of making money how she does without serious problems.

The biggest problem with the Bonnie Blue phenomenon is that her life is seen as aspirational for young women.

Also, I felt that Louise was holding back from saying “yes, I believe that you are happy and this life doesn’t cause you distress etc., but it is bad for your soul!”

Finally, she is straightforwardly a menace to society, in a similar way to Andrew Tate but even more destructive ultimately, and should be banned from all college campuses.

I would really like to understand the psychology of how Bonnie went from married life and trying for a baby to her current lifestyle. I am not sure how old she is but I assume she married quite young ( not typical these days ) and then speaks about trying to get pregnant for 18 months. I assume in a parallel universe there is a Bonnie we never heard of with a couple of kids. She led a very 'conventional' life up to this point, she dismisses it saying her jobs were boring, wouldn't want to be with her ex etc. I think both Louise and the host picked up on it at this point in the interview, I don't understand the 'leap'..........

It's on Spotify if that helps. It's Chris Williamson's podcast, not MMM.

Not every woman is a victim of the world they live in. Some women are called Eve…..
