## Resource

While there are many topics that must be addressed to resolve the partnership between men and women including work, dating practices, and rights there is one fundamental breakdown that sits at the root of it all - the broken agreement between men and women about our respective evolutionary purpose. Listen in as I explore how fringe opinions get turned into perceived consensus, the evolutionary mismatch at the heart of modern dating, the unspoken agreement between men and women that has broken down, and more.
