Zoomer Girls, Social Class, and Digital Media

with Theresa Tallien (WRP #84)

On today’s episode of Walt Right Perspectives I speak with the splendid

, a midwestern writer and housewife with a background in digital media.

Theresa is a millennial of upper class Borderer extraction, and was a liberal for most of her youth. Thankfully she departed from that impulse amidst the savagery of 2020 in favor of a pragmatic center right urbanist politics in the vein of

.

She is perhaps most notable for her enchanting articles The Optimized Husband’s Wife and Marriage and the Mids, both of which went fairly viral in our circles this past fall.


Topics include:

  • Theresa’s eighteenth century namesake

  • The factors that initially drove her away from libtardism

  • Her experience working in digital media during the early 2010s

  • Walt goes on a masturbatory diatribe about how Gavin McInnes was born twenty years too early and why the Proud Boys had a terrible marketing strategy

  • Everyone tends to think of the years of their early twenties as the “baseline” and will overindex cultural trends based on any departures from that

  • American society is rapidly moving to the right on cultural issues

  • Stigmatizing age gaps creates a concomitant impulse to fetishize them

  • Kids These Days—why are Zoomers so childish and unagentic?

  • Are Zoomer girls simply faking their arrested development?

  • Many Zoomers are incapable of performing office work because Covid-era social disruption obliterated their executive functioning

  • Is AI going to destroy human skills at research, editing, etc., much like writing destroyed our oral memory?

  • Theresa proposes we lower the age of consent—but only for college-aged guys so 19-20yo dudes can approach 16yo girls instead of arbitrarily being the one group of men who aren’t permitted to lean on being the cool older guy

  • What is the ideal age gap?

  • Single womyn start to hate men around 28 because lots of them were strung along in a forever engagement; Walt reiterates his advocacy for Breach of Promise Laws

  • Girls ignore their Boomer dads when they say “why buy a cow when you can get the milk for free” because they incorrectly assume this is about sex when it’s actually about getting him to go to the doctor and check his mail

  • Theresa’s short story about Zoomer lesbians

  • Why does every Gen Z woman either dress like a hooker or a dyke?

  • Butch lesbians have an admirable sense of personal agency and are right to resent gaslighting hyperfeminine bisexual women who can shapeshift between worlds

  • Theresa contends that Millennial women are more feminine on average but the most feminine Zoomer girls are much more feminine than the girliest Millennials

  • Zoomettes see dressing for men as cheugy unless it’s elevated to overt prostitution

  • Gen Z is essentialist and brutally honest about power, while Millennial feminists coddled / lied to themselves while impotently moaning about “stereotypes”

  • “As a White Person” pieces written for Gawker by Jewish failsons in the mid 2010s

  • Theresa’s initial foray into public life during the digital media bubble

  • Walt never believes affluent white girls when they gush over a minority being hotter than themselves, which is why he suspected Theresa of virtue signaling when she called this nandini broad hotter than her

  • So long as she’s at least a 7/10 most men don’t care about a girl’s looks

  • Usually people cheat with someone less attractive than their current partner because they want validation from someone who worships them

  • “Beautiful Mids” aren’t valued because they are “more attainable;” nerdy guys genuinely find imperfection much hotter than airbrushed perfection

  • Dasha Nekrasova is volcanically fuckable because of her Down Syndrome face

  • Being into asses is for black guys while an affinity for titty is white-coded

  • Theresa defends Feet Guys, pointing out we massively outnumber homosexuals and that sexualizing a girl’s feet has always been common and socially acceptable

  • In practice sucking a girl’s toes is far less gross than eating her pussy

  • Why autistic guys are much more likely to develop a foot fetish

  • Walt and Theresa reflect on the

    / controversy and the need for right wing artists to speak candidly about sexuality in their work

  • Theresa notes that all great artists are perverts

  • It’s extremely weird for trads to worship Trump when he constantly cheats on his wife with trashy hookers

  • Masculinity being right-coded is circumstantial and not innate—in the 1990s Clintonian liberalism was seen as far more virile than Moral Majority church lady finger-wagging, and someone like Gavin Newsom would find it incredibly easy to take the Democrats in a similar direction come 2028 against Vance etc.

  • Walt and Theresa are worried about tradcon purity spiraling

  • Theresa greatly enjoys being a kept woman

  • Modern office work is generally better suited for a feminine temperament… but LLMs and remote work enable greater arbitrage and entrepreneurialism, which could in turn facilitate women dropping out of the workforce as their husbands secure vastly higher compensation packages through clever asymmetric tactics

  • Most women don’t want to work but don’t trust men enough to depend on them

  • People aren’t ready for the stark asymmetries of the future job market

  • Why Theresa thinks dating advice is inherently bad and Walt strongly agrees

  • Do people still date across class lines?

  • Walt talks about the Diary of Samuel Pepys, in which the eponymous English bureaucrat casually recounts how he obtains sex from working and even middle class broads by giving them lobsters or offering to promote their husband

  • When you bring a working class girl to the office Christmas Party your affluent female coworkers and the boss’s wife will typically act like you brought a hooker

  • In practice it’s a million times more difficult to date an upper middle class white girl than literally any other type of woman

  • If your dad is rich and famous you either turn into Alexander or Hunter / Don Jr.

  • The upper middle class is uniquely bugman in its sensibilities, while upper class and working class people share a more adventurous mindset

  • How Theresa perceives midwesterners compared to Americans in other regions

  • Walt and Theresa reflect on their shared Borderer heritage and conclude they’re probably fourth cousins
