Hey, this is Annie.

And Samantha.

And welcome to Stop I Never Told You, production of IHeart Radio.

Well, okay, we are back to the part two. I actually did a part two. Oh, man. I was doing so good, Annie. I was doing so good. I had some thoughts. I kind of derailed it too.

No, we knew this was going to happen because this is, like, I will say, as we have talked about this episode. So we are coming back to Shantay Joseph's article is having a boyfriend embarrassing. And there's a lot of feels. So there's a lot of feels. To the point that every time I think I've talked, I have now mentioned it twice on interviews to say, have you read this article. I have mentioned it to you. I have mentioned it to friend of the show, previous host Caroline. I've been spreading this article out everywhere because

I'm like, I, we all need to talk about this. This is legitimate. We as a coalition of marginalized

feminist female representing people need to talk about this article.

Yeah, and why it resonated so much.

Yes, and why there's so many, like, reactions to it.

Of course, we know any type of statement like this is going to get some type of reaction, good or bad.

But she really brought out some thoughts in this conversation.

If you haven't listened to the part one, pause here.

Go back to part one because we talk about some of the things that she alludes to,

some of her quotes, and what she specifically has seen in this conversation

with other writers and creatives as well. So

an activist. So you should stop here. Go back. Okay. Welcome back. But yeah. So she had some

really big thoughts. And man, people have things to say. So Joseph often says throughout her article,

it isn't that falling in love or being in a happy,

healthy relationship is bad or that it demonizes a person.

It doesn't make you a villain for being that.
