We planned to do a bit of a victory lap, and it did start out that way.
We’re just really raw with you about how demoralizing it is to see people just love our book and say what an amazing impact it’s had on them– and then have the powers-that-be still not care about hurting women.

Episode 88: Self-Fulfilling Prophecies and Sex Feb 18, 2021

What happens when women are told: “If your husband is typical, he has a need you don’t have?”, as Love & Respect put it.
If you hear that your whole life that women need affection while men need sex, and women don’t actually need that much. Well, should it be a surprise if we grow up believing that sex is not for us?
