In a world of dating apps, socially structured meetups, online communities, and more, it's amazing that many men still feel entitled to interrupt women in public. This week, Adam and Sarah talk about how important it is to leave women alone, why men should stop feeling entitled to a woman's time and space, and how toxic it is to get defensive and demand that being in public means you can do whatever you want. Leaving women alone shows them respect and acknowledges their concerns about a safety, misogyny, and the wounded egos of emotionally immature men who can't handle rejection. If you're a man who thinks it's acceptable to approach a woman in public, you won't like this episode, but you should listen to it and learn something! Also this week: Adam leaves Vermont five pounds lighter, Sarah's in limbo, and the "Leave Women Alone" bop!
