We underestimate the ways in which those kind of social pressures inform our gender-based decisions and our relationships. Culture is very, in terms of how acceptable it is to be strong and explicit about your own needs. And culture is similarly very in the degree to which they're okay with one person making another person uncomfortable. In some cultures, that's absolutely an anathema. Whereas in others, it's just everyday life.
Dr. Hanson and Forrest on the nature of relationships, what some big "red flags" are, and how to create a frame of effective communication with the people you care about. It's a fun episode, hope you enjoy it!
