| 0:00.0 | From the magnificent Midwest, it's the Suzanne Benker Show, where men and women are equal in value, but wildly different by nature. |
| 0:16.2 | Join us here every week as we challenge the culture's hugely flawed narratives on men, women, sex, and love. |
| 0:23.3 | From coast to coast and from around the world, thank you for joining us. |
| 0:29.4 | The idea that women can have it all is complete BS, unless you redefine the whole thing to mean this. |
| 0:43.2 | A happy marriage, healthy kids, and some type of independent passion that you can pursue as a woman. |
| 0:52.3 | This passion can come in many forms, a hobby that brings you great joy and some extra |
| 0:57.4 | spending money, or a flexible career that you can move in and out of as the needs of your |

| 1:47.2 | The short answer is no. I would never advise any man to do that. |

| 2:10.9 | What we do know are the statistics about such marriages. |
| 2:17.4 | And when we use common sense and human nature as our guide, |
| 2:21.3 | rather than politics and ideology, |
