Modern women have a difficult dilemma: the working world requires them to be in their 'Masculine' (competitive self) while fulfilling relationships require them to be in their 'Feminine' (interdependent self).

Not only will you reap the rewards of high polarity intimacy, it's also an opportunity to level up as a man.This episode draws on some fringe experiences in BDSM, and of course evolutionary biology.If you're interested in the more academic side of masculinity and it's role in our culture, check out my other project The History of Man Podcast.
