A university doing a special Chris Rufo program, expecting success under the belief there’s widespread public craving for ideological anti-woke “education” to counter all the “Marxism,” then when it turns out virtually no students are interested trying to make it mandatory, didn’t work out? Huh.

to me, this is absolutely the most triggering part of a completely bleak look at the state of young women and girls today (spoiler: it's about the moms. it's always about the moms).
Claire was more ambivalent. She thought GLP-1’s were for people with real medical issues, not teenagers who wanted to look better in Revolve skirt sets. “We’re basically still kids,” she says. “I thought that was wrong.” Couldn’t Marie just hit the gym a little harder? She also worried about the drugs’ potential long-term effects since they’re so new, but Marie was living in the moment. “I don’t really care,” she says. “I’m in my prime, so I’d rather look cute now.” Claire was also jealous. As a dancer, she had always been aware of how she looked in a leotard. In high school, she started to gain some weight, and her mom, a former sorority girl, was always encouraging her to lose a few pounds — especially if she wanted to rush. “Sororities are going to look at your size,” Claire remembers her saying. “Wouldn’t you rather start now?” She was only a size 8 and had never felt that much bigger than other girls until she got to campus and looked around.

Back at home over winter break, Claire told her mom that Marie was on a GLP-1. Her mom admitted she was on one too and had lost 30 pounds. “Now that you know I’m on it, would you feel a little better about doing it as well?” Claire remembers her asking. The answer was “yes.” Her mom got her supply from a friend, who started shipping compounded tirzepatide to Claire’s dorm. When Laura found out, she asked Claire to hook her up. Then she called her mom — who is also on a GLP-1 and once paid Laura $10 a day to cut out sugar when she was in sixth grade — to ask her to cover the $100 a month it would cost. “Everyone’s on it,” Laura told her. “And my mom was like, ‘Sure, I’ll pay.’” In a matter of weeks, with their mothers’ permission, all three girls were injecting themselves with weight-loss drugs that could forever warp their sense of how thin they need to be.

Got 'em: The @thebulwark.com added an editor's note to the review, acknowledging that the author's direct affiliation with the Foundation for American Innovation ("the foundation shaping the tech right," according to Inc.) created a conflict that should have been forthrightly disclosed.
Editor's note from Bulwark: 1
Editor’s note (September 3, 2026, 1:10 p.m. EDT): In a response to this review posted to social media, Gil Durán, author of The Nerd Reich, has highlighted that the reviewer, Jacob Bruggeman, is affiliated with the Foundation for American Innovation (FAI). Durán mentions FAI in his book, once, in a sentence that reads as follows: “This merging of tech and far-right networks—hosted by the Foundation for American Innovation, which Inc. later described as ‘the foundation shaping the tech right’—seemed like a live test of [Balaji] Srinivasan’s theory.” Bruggeman’s affiliation with FAI is an unpaid, nonresident fellowship (in other words, it is not his day job), and while it was mentioned in his byline beneath this review, we should have made a point of additionally disclosing it in a footnote like this.
