Episode notes
Men as Mortal Enemies
- Sarah Hoover views men as the "mortal enemy" but made an exception for the podcast hosts.
- She was assured they weren't like Justin Baldoni, and the hosts discussed the Baldoni-Lively drama.
Well-Intentioned But Useless
- Men are "well-intended but useless" because culture doesn't prepare them to be equal partners.
- Mothers enable this uselessness by doing everything for them, hindering their development of essential skills.
DIY over Delegating
- Sarah Hoover would rather change a spark plug herself than ask a man.
- She finds nagging necessary due to men's inaction, especially when she's hungry, annoyed, and hormonal.
