people are trying to deny men and women are equal but not the same, ashley mcgire has appeared on cnn, fox, pbs, and the bbc. her writing has appeared in the new york times, washington post, "time" magazine, weekly standard, the federalist, the new york post and the huffingpen ton post. her new book, "sex scandal: the drive to abolish male and female," she explores debates about women in the military and the workforce, the campus hookup culture and campus gender identity policies and explores gender neutral parents and homemaking. her arguments may not shock many people in today's audience but they come with a trigger warning when delivered on college campuses and perhaps we should issue that warning for booktv. we best protect women's equality and dignity when we stop trying to make women and men the same. she will give us a taste of arguments in her new book today. please join me in welcoming ashley to the podium. >> thank you, brian and thank you to the heritage foundation for having me and especially thank you to my good friend roger. i would like to open with a quote that at leas
