As Monty Python might say, “And now for something completely different.” On Monday’s edition of her PBS show that originally airs on CNN International, Christiane Amanpour welcomed Babygirl director Halina Reijn to discuss the film and its place in society. As Reijn tried to claim that discussions of the difference between male and female orgasms and post-menopausal sexuality are the next stage of feminism akin to winning the right to vote, Amanpour used it and other works surrounding extra-marital affairs to promote older women “claiming their sexuality.”
Babygirl is a movie that gives itself the tagline “A high-powered CEO puts her career and family on the line when she begins a torrid affair with her much-younger intern.” During both the interview with Amanpour and the movie itself, Reijn portrays the power dynamics of that as male-dominated.
Later, Amanpour asked, “Halina, talk about the bigger picture. Because frankly, there’s a lot of reporting, of storytelling in documentary, in real-life, as well as in the world of culture about younger women claiming—sorry, older women claiming their personhood, claiming their sexuality, even post-menopausal women. Look at Miranda July’s recent book, On All Fours, and a lot of the, frankly, parts that Nicole Kidman has played over the last couple of years. What’s going on, in your view, in society around women of a certain age?”
On All Fours is also about an older woman who has an affair. Wikipedia summarizes it like this: “All Fours is a 2024 novel by Miranda July. The novel follows a 45-year-old perimenopausal woman who, after having an extramarital affair during a road trip, has a sexual awakening. The narrator begins a sexually charged relationship with Davey, a married man, and then a sexual relationship with Audra, an ex lover of Davey’s. She tells her husband and they decide to stay together and each have separate lovers.”
What is it with Christiane Amanpour and tying affairs to “older women claiming their personhood, claiming their sexuality”? […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
