Episode 70 - Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus review pt2

<p>And we&apos;re back with part 2 of John Grey&apos;s guide to gender essentialism, a horribly substantiated and poorly-reasoned guide to communicating with and loving your partner better.  Sure, we make fun of it, but we also realize it&apos;s had and will continue to have more of an impact on the world than anything we&apos;ll ever produce, so maybe we&apos;re just jealous?<br/><br/>In this part we discuss some actually reasonable advice to how different sexes use language differently, some weirdly sexist advice regarding how men and women deal with stress, and some more horrible advice about people never being able to change their partner. We wrap it up by talking about research that&apos;s been done since the book was first published that undermines the whole gosh-darn premise and a quick prayer that John Grey never again picks up a pen to write. <br/><br/>We strongly urge our listeners to support the work of Planned Parenthood by donating <a href='https://www.plannedparenthood.org/planned-parenthood-arizona/donate'>here</a>. Patreon donations are sweet, but there are more important causes to support. Go check out what is going on in the world and support those with a uterus.<br/><br/>Interested in starting your own podcast?
