Episode 54: Steve Harvey's Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man pt1

<p>Some people have said we&apos;re doing too many book episodes and not enough dating episodes. We pondered that, mulled it over for a few weeks, and decided to take that to heart by combining a book on dating advice with actual conversation about dating standards. And the results were...not good.<br/><br/>Steve Harvey makes his first appearance on our podcast, by virtue of his poorly named &quot;Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man.&quot; In it, he tells women the true secrets of the male mindset and gives them the information he thinks they need to know to succeed while dating. And that advice? Pretty darn misogynistic, kinda racist at times, and certainly not worthy of the 64 weeks it spent on the NYT best seller list. Joel and Naomi tackle the first third of the book, confronting such bold statements as &quot;men are simple beings,&quot; men won&apos;t love anyone until they feel successful,&quot; and men only show love by &quot;professing, providing, and protecting&quot; those they care about.  Good, intelligent stuff all around and well worth a listen. <br/><br/>We refuse to provide links to Steve Harvey&apos;s books on this podcast.

Patreon donations are sweet, but there are more important causes to support.<br/><br/>Interested in starting your own podcast?
