Tone policing is one of the most pervasive examples of male privilege and systemic misogyny in society today. Why are assertive women called bossy and shamed for their tones when assertive men are promoted? Why is society obsessed with being "ladylike" or polite as a way to censor women, especially women of color, and anyone who's femme-presenting? Even more insidious is the self-tone policing, when women apologize unnecessarily, are polite to men who don't deserve it, and judge themselves for ridiculous reasons. Adam and Sarah spend this episode talking about why it's time to stop being polite to men, stop apologizing, and stop tone policing.Also this week, we read a listener email who talks about a shitty man and her experience with the Facebook Group "Are We Dating The Same Man?"And of course, our Seattle meetup is coming up soon!

One of the most popular discussions among people in relationships revolves around love languages. While it seems nice to have our relationships tied up in such pretty little bows, the reality is that love languages are trash. The author, a misogynistic homophobic old pastor, created the concept as a way to benefit men, and the more you examine love languages as the babbling nonsense it is, you start to see how subtly nefarious it can be. This week, Sarah and Adam explain why using love languages can be a crutch, and can result in making the same bad relationship decisions over and over again.

Before you listen to this episode, call the DKS Hotline at 407-519-0181 and ask us a question! Done? Great.
