The real question is: are we accepting of double standards when they work in our favor? To make this a fair fight, you know we had to bring on some mens...some well versed, educated mens at that! 😉 Join us how in discussing how the double standards created by society mold our views on relationships, gender roles, work environment, safety, sexuality, and more!

Whether people mean to or not, it can be very disrespectful to someone when their cultures are not being properly respected. Your favorite hosts debate this in order to understand how we can change the negativity surrounding this topic.
