I have a question about gender dynamics in dating as discussed in the episodes The 1977 Movie Draft and Women and Isolation, as well as episode #431: Nine Hard Truths About Love with Jillian Turecki and the concept of Sacred Sexuality. Are my thoughts about gender dynamics in dating accurate? I feel that men have to work hard to gain social status and financial stability to attract women, while women are pursued regardless of their qualities. I'm frustrated by the idea that men have to chase after women and navigate complex social games to gain their interest.
Do you think things are changing for the younger generation of women?
