In this episode, we dive deep into modern gender roles, financial dynamics in relationships, and why more women are outpacing men in education and career success. Should men still be the breadwinners? How do couples navigate household responsibilities when both partners are ambitious? And why are successful women still judged more harshly than successful men?
We explore what it means to build a non-gendered household, share our views on parenting equality, and unpack the cultural bias that applauds men for doing the bare minimum at home.
