Fiji and Autumn check in this week with support for college protests, new books, Baby Reindeer developments, and texting my ex. Next, we dive into this week’s topic: men have feelings but do we REALLY care? Do women really want men to open up? Why do men feel like they need to hide their feelings to be strong? Do women use men’s vulnerability against them? Do men have healthy coping mechanisms? Why is this a women’s issue too? We’re talking: Men’s mental health, women glorifying men’s pain, women silencing men’s feelings with tears, bell hooks, the myth of protection, the disconnect, how to receive it when men are opening up, why women think men don’t give a f**k, how the patriarchy hurts boys, the pressure men feel to protect women, why are we triggered by men being vulnerable, men romanticizing their struggle and pain, why we lie to men, toxic masculinity vs heroic masculinity, what we can learn from each other, how to deepen intimacy, listener stories, and more!👀 Join our community of confused pussies💦🌵  Intro 00:00:00 - 00:02:36 What’s got us s0 wet and s0 dry this week 00:02:36 - 00:09:17 Glorifying men’s pain and women’s neglect for men’s emotions 00:09:17 - 00:14:07 Women are afraid of men’s feelings: why don’t we want to hear them be vulnerable? 00:14:07 - 00:18:22 Do women really want men to be vulnerable? 00:18:22 - 00:21:36 Do women give space for men to open up? 00:21:36 - 00:30:04 Men have feelings: the patriarchy and the research 00:30:04 - 00:38:24 Why men feel like they need to hide their feelings be strong? 00:38:24 - 00:42:20 The pressure men feel to protect women 00:42:20 - 00:47:42 Women using men’s vulnerability against them 00:47:42 - 01:02:38 Men romanticizing their struggle and pain 01:02:38 - 01:07:14 How do women reinforce patriarchy?
