Here's the basic principle - men and women are different. Neither one is better or worse, they're just different. This episode is to help you to understand the ways in which they are different.

1 - This may help you to understand the other half of the human race.

2 - If you're married, to understand your husband or wife. (1 Peter - dwell with according to understanding).

3 - This will contribute to your understanding of the God-assigned gender roles in the Bible. They are not just arbitrarily assigned, but made for them.

4 - This episode will defend men and masculinity, both of whom are under attack in our day and age.
