Going Deep: Sex, Boundaries & Harassment | Relationships
In today’s bonus episode of IGNTD, we’re going to discuss a topic that has become very pressing and prevalent in today’s society: sexual harassment, rape, victimization, and everything that is happening today around it. Sophie and I have been talking about it already for years and we feel it is very important to address these topics out in the open because sometimes the most important elements are missed.
In this episode, I bounce my thoughts and ideas off of Sophie on the topics of women’s issues, sexual harassment, alpha males and masculinity, power dynamics, consent, and how we can improve as a society moving forward. Sophie and I come from such different perspectives — from the people in life that surrounded us, to the environment we were raised in. It was helpful to see the differences in these perspectives and to be able to dig up the real issues behind these situations. What I hope a lot of men are starting to realize is that we don’t really, fully understand the experience women have in western societies. We hope to shed some light on these issues and discuss the root causes behind these difficult-to-talk-about topics.
