There are two competing visions playing out in our culture right now. One prizes traditional values, marriage, matrimony, and the worth of a soul. The other peddles promiscuity and lust, urging women to trade their innocence for a hollow imitation of freedom.
Two video clips that recently went viral perfectly embody this divide. In the first, octogenarian philosophy professor Peter Kreeft was on The Daily Wire’s “Pints with Aquinas,” explaining that a man should marry a woman for her soul, not her physical appearance, because even staring at his wife’s corpse, he found her most beautiful. He understood that the body fades, but the thing worth loving, the eternal part, never does. The second clip represents that latter, destructive philosophy: Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia, on her crudely titled podcast Plan Bri, calling Erika Kirk a “f*cking clown” for daring to promote the nuclear family, traditional values, and faith.
Chickenfry, a 27-year-old media personality, is best known for her failed relationship with singer Zach Bryan, swearing aggressively, and posting videos of herself hungover. She claims to be a champion of female power and progress, and ridicules Erika Kirk and TPUSA for apparently “preying” on young women. Chickenfry is everything wrong with our current culture, wrapped in a ring light and a vape cloud. She rails against “bad influence” while being one of the worst exemplars of young women.
