  • Social media, dating apps, and DMs

    I wanted to do this episode for several reasons: 

    1. I think knowledge is power. Yes, very School House Rock, but I think if you know better you can do better.
  • My own experiences have weirded me out, and my friends and family who I have talk to about this express similar sentiments.
  • My experience with working with people around difficult sexual problems including sexual entitlements.
  • What is sexual entitlement and how does it fit into this conversation?

  • Friends descriptions of their experiences.

     

    How this actually feels vs. the intended message.

     

    So... what's the conclusion of this? If you need help figuring out how to begin a relationship or social interactions with others, reach out for help!!!

     

    For instance, rather than saying in a DM, "Hey beautiful", then sending them a dick pic, you could say "Hey, I saw your profile and I saw you like ___. I like ___ too.

    What is your favorite thing about ___. This type of communication will typically get you farther than commenting on our bodies. Just like with catcalling, it does not make us feel flattered, it makes us feel afraid.
