Modern Dating: Consent, Boundaries, and Respect
The Man Enough Podcast
How to Challenge Sexism
"We're setting it up as if women's success is coming at the cost of men," she says. "That's a real big, that's a societal problem that we should all feel ... part of trying to solve"
Join Liz and Jamey as they dive deep into the complexities of consent, boundaries, and the often tumultuous landscape of modern dating. With vulnerability and honesty, Liz shares her most harrowing dating stories, shining a light on the lack of boundaries and consent many women face when dating. They fearlessly explore topics such as abuse, assault, coping mechanisms, and the harm of labeling all men as abusers. By emphasizing increased communication between men and women, Liz and Jamey offer a hopeful path toward healing, understanding, and mutual empowerment.
