What happened Russel?

“I’ve found these interesting and entertaining so far and I’ve appreciated how Russel has made an effort to unpack the issues at hand.
However the cheating episode lacked any depth or substance and to be brutally honest was just a parade of unaddressed over-excused toxic masculinity.
The study cited about likelihood of men to cheat may be scientifically sound but doesn’t address whether its nature or nurture.
It’s a shame you didn’t explore the “boys will be boys” socialisation and how their bad behaviour is often excused. (Most of the discussion in the podcast operated under this code)
I honestly have never been cheated on but I have had male and female friends who have been devastated by it. I’ve had to break up with men who have been unable to trust or be intimate because they have been cheated on before. The episode (uncharacteristically of this podcast) took the issue very very lightly.
I’m in my 20s and this world of webs of friends cheating on each other is something that is totally alien to me and to be totally honest with you I feel sorry for the people who normalise it. What a detached, shallow, substanceless existence.
It’s a shame that there were no men on the podcast on the side of constancy and loyalty - I bet there are loads who have stuck with their partners through thick and thin. Or people who had used their words and actually communicated with their partner to find solutions together (you mentioned swinging but never explored any positive stories). It all came across as very old fashioned and defeatist.
Also this podcast was very hetero - where were the LGBTQIA guests? I hear of lots of successful open relationships that straight people could learn from.
I genuinely like the podcast but overall I just found this episode disheartening and not even scratching the surface of issues. I think there are a lot more interesting questions we could be asking.
Also as a side note - I’d rather be a single woman my whole life than be with someone who can’t take responsibility for themselves or adopts a paper-fragile morality. Turns out I can provide for myself....”

“Brilliant, funny and thought-provoking podcast. It’s insightful and brutally honest, and I hope it runs and runs. How about one on men’s thoughts on children? Are men as broody as women? Is child-rearing now not down to women doing “all the work”?”
