  "And they say this horrible thing and so I want nothing to do with them. And. And what's amazing about this thing though, is that you can see the nuances and complexities in individuals and also recognize the nuances and complexities in yourself.

  "Rather than her having children with multiple men, the man needed to know that those were his children so that his owned property could be passed down to those children. So it very much became marriage about passing on of ownership. And so you've got those kinds of concepts, you've got the transactional agreements between two parties, right?

  "But I find myself today all of a sudden realizing that I am experiencing conflicted desires and they're all self inflicted. They're my own desires at war with my own desires. And I'm like, what are you doing? And I've experienced this for some time now where I want to be a part of online conversations in live audio spaces.

  "Like, if we don't acknowledge how these things go hand in hand, then we can set ourselves up for trouble down the line, right? Because either we're ignoring the emotions and feelings.
