Fingers Crossed

boundaries, manipulation & cheating: how empathy gets weaponised - episode 19


Listen Later

this week, meg recaps her woodworking era (power tools are involved), erica talks about playing open mics for the first time and it leads into a deeper chat about women’s empathy being exploited by manipulative men.


following last week’s ENM conversation, we get into a discussion about cheating, why people push boundaries they never actually agreed on. we also reference a video analysing cheating behaviour, linked below.


there’s also a quick cameo from bea, a rant about western individualism and a bigger conversation about why empathy becomes a vulnerability when you lack boundaries.
