Summary
So my kids and my friends' kids are now at the age when they're seriously dating and thinking about the future. Unfortunately, the advice most of them receive from the culture, via the media and via their universities, isn't just bad. It completely undermines women's chances for a happy, balanced life.
Young women in particular are taught all the wrong things about life and love, about men and sex, and about work & family. Sadly, those whose parents didn't offset these destructive messages with sound advice of their own are now shooting blanks. To get it right, women need a new plan of action.
In this episode, I discuss 7 countercultural rules for life and love for a new generation of women.
IN THIS EPISODE:
3:30 Modern dating is a disaster
5:30 Suzanne reads an email that gets to the heart of the issues within modern marriage
6:40 There's an epidemic of folks raised by feminist mothers that have led marriages and relationships falling apart
8:17 Get ONE marketable, flexible degree
11:30 Sex isn't "just sex"
12:30 Suzanne reads a great quote about casual sex from Jordan B. Peterson
13:15 Young women are not able to separate sex from emotion the same way men can
14:30 Don’t waste your twenties on men you hope will change
18:00 Marry a man who already knows his career path because once you have kids, you may want to step out of the workforce
22:30 Never live with with a man to whom you are not engaged
27:28 Men and women cohabit for different reasons
27:50 Don’t make financial decisions as if you'll always be in the workforce!
29:00 It is not impossible to get by on one income; couples simply make decisions early on that keep them from being able to do so
32:00 Reject the idea of “work/family” balance
34:05 There's a big difference between a career and a job; people who pursue careers pay a price for that
38:00 It is up to parents to tell their kids the truth

| 0:00.0 | From the magnificent Midwest, it's the Suzanne Venker Show, where men and women are equal in value, but wildly different by nature. |
| 0:21.3 | Join us here every week when we challenge the culture's hugely flawed narratives about men, |
| 0:25.5 | women, sex, and love. |
| 0:27.1 | From coast to coast and from around the world, thank you for joining us. |
| 0:31.1 | So I've talked a lot with you guys about why cancel culture is a great reason to become a Patreon |
| 0:36.1 | supporter, but there's actually |
| 0:37.9 | another one. The more subscribers I have, the fewer commercials I need. So you guys have probably noticed |
| 0:44.5 | that thus far, we're largely commercial free here at the Suzanne Benker Show, and I'd like to keep |
| 0:48.9 | it that way for the time being. But in order to do that, I need listener support. So if you're an avid |
| 0:54.1 | listener of the Suzanne |
| 0:54.8 | Banker show and you like that it's commercial free, please considering becoming a monthly |
| 0:58.4 | subscriber. As always, there are four very economical levels from which to choose. And depending |
| 1:03.2 | on which tier you choose, we offer giveaways and bonus episodes and Q&As with me. Just go to |
| 1:09.0 | Suzannebanker.com slash podcast and you'll see the red buttons about a quarter of the way |
| 1:13.4 | down the page. Again, that's Suzannebanker.com slash podcast. And speaking of Patreon, a big shout |
| 1:20.0 | out to John. Thank you so much, John, for becoming a Patreon supporter and for being a listener |
| 1:24.9 | of the Suzanne Benker show. Really, really appreciate it. |
| 1:28.1 | And now on with the show. So today we're going to talk about seven rules for life and love |
| 1:35.8 | for a new generation of women. And the reason this has come up is, well, it may sound new as far as my addressing it on the podcast, |
| 1:49.5 | but it's not new to what I've been doing behind the scenes. |
| 1:52.6 | I have a book coming out later this year that is essentially on this same topic of the fact that young people today have been given |
| 2:06.9 | absolutely horrible advice about life and about love. This has to do with sex, dating, marriage, men, you name it. |
