Is it true that nice guys finish last? Do you believe that good women get their hearts broken the most? Gator and I share our thoughts on this topic.

FEMALE MISOGYNY Definition: Internalized sexism. A woman who subscribes to the belief that this is a man's world and women should know their place and stay in it. If a woman ventures out of her place then it's a man's job to put them back in it. If there's no man around then she will step in to put women back in their place. She also attributes hyper masculinity to being a "real man" and anything less is just not strong enough to "handle her". This harmful belief system is more insidious and harder to recognize because it's coming from a person that you would least expect. The victim becomes the perpetrator of the same kind of oppression that they have endured, adopting the "If you can’t beat em join em" mindset. Whew!!! I know that was a lot but we're going to unpack this complex and multilayered topic in this episode of Dope Discussions Live. #misogyny #toxicmasculinity #internalizedmisogyny #alphamale #dopepodcast #blackpodcastnetwork #dopeblackpodcasts #uncomfortableconversations

It seems that nowadays being called insecure is a big trigger for people. We take it as a sign of weakness or low self confidence but let's look at the bigger picture here. Being in a relationship with a person who crosses boundaries, neglects your needs and dismisses your concerns can create a feeling of being in an unsafe environment and isn't that the same thing as feeling insecure? (not secured, lacking security) In this episode of Dope Discussions Live we're exploring the difference in recognizing a person who has their own internal insecurities and a person who is in a relationship that makes them feel insecure.
