5692 Men Letting Women DIE?!? Oct 17, 2024

The lecture examines the societal and psychological barriers preventing men from performing life-saving CPR on women. It highlights a study revealing that one in three Britons, particularly men, hesitate to help due to fears of inappropriate touching, indicating a larger cultural concern regarding masculinity and emergency responsiveness. The discussion addresses the discomfort many men feel regarding necessary physical contact in emergencies, contrasting their apprehensions with women’s comparatively lower levels of concern. Real-life incidents illustrate the risks men face, including accusations of harassment, leading to increased reluctance to intervene in crises. The lecture also explores the evolution of gender roles and the impact of social media narratives that often portray men as potential aggressors. Ultimately, it calls for a societal reassessment of responses to men's hesitance, advocating for a dialogue that fosters understanding and encourages supportive behaviors in emergency situations.

5694 When Should You FORCE Your Kids? Oct 18, 2024

"Hey Stef! How are you preparing/have prepared Izzy for the harsh world, in the context of peaceful parenting?"
"A lot of people say they believe in the theory of evolution, but how many do actually understand it? What do you think?"
"should we send our daughter to private school? She has been homeschooled her whole life and then last year she went to private school for about 80% of the school year (we did a late enrollment). We wanted her to continue to go, but she does not want to go, citing disagreements with classmates, teasing. Overall, we think it's a good school and our other 2 kids enjoy going there. What is the balance between pushing your kids outside of their comfort zone and also taking into consideration them not wanting to do something? Our kids were forced into piano when they were younger and hated it so we stopped. They will occasionally say they were glad they were forced to play piano because it gave them a skill and they will still play. That's the moral dilemma I am trying to articulate... thanks Stefan!"
"Tucker Carlson remarked recently that Bitcoin was probably invented by the CIA. It sounds crazy to me yet the CIA has been doing very shady things for a long time. Would love to get your thoughts."

5708 How to Survive Neglect! Oct 28, 2024

Friday Night Live 25 October 2024
Hey Stef I would love if you can do a review on "The Substance" it's a horror movie. However, it hits on women growing old, losing their youth, beauty and what you speak on often which is "the desire for the unearned."
Is sexlessness in a marriage always a sign of a deeper issue? What should a wife do if a husband’s porn addiction is revealed long after the commitment is made and children have been born? I’m too embarrassed to call in
Good evening Stef, would you say that you are the same person that you were , 10,20,30 years ago? If you have changed, is it possible that when people say that their partners changed, resulting in the end of their relationship, that maybe there is some truth to it?
Have you done a 'Truth About' episode on Siblings? If not, can you consider doing one? You dropped a thought in a recent Livestream that really got me thinking.
