Summary

Talking points: accountability, relationships Before anything else, not all women struggle with this. But some who do (and the men who love them) have asked me to speak on this. You’ve probably seen the memes or heard a story or two, but it’s always better to actually do some thinking. Here are my thoughts on why some women admit to struggling with accountability—and how to hold a partner accountable in a healthy way. (00:00:00) - Intro and reason 1: different tools for social status (00:05:41) - Reason 2: women are disincentivized by the “patriarchy virus” (00:07:52) - Women are socialized to be more dependent on men (00:10:05) - How to hold a partner accountable in a healthy way, and what NOT to do *** Pick up my book, Men's Work: A Practical Guide To Face Your Darkness, End Self-Sabotage, And Find Freedom: https://mantalks.com/mens-work-book/ Check out some free resources: How To Quit Porn | Anger Meditation | How To Lead In Your Relationship Build brotherhood with a powerful group of like-minded men from around the world.

All right, team, welcome back. Today, we are going to be talking about the long-awaited topic about women and accountability.

0:14.2

Now, after working with couples for a very long time and working with thousands of men for over a decade,

0:20.2

one big question has continued to come up

0:22.3

over and over and over again, especially from men, which is why can't women take accountability

0:27.8

when they are in the wrong in a relationship? You've probably seen the online memes and the videos

0:33.9

and the jokes and, you know, this isn't some biased narrative or perspective.

0:39.5

This is something that a lot of women openly admit to struggling with. They say, I struggle

0:45.1

to take accountability in a relationship. I struggle to take ownership for my part of the

0:49.8

relationship. Or, you know, they have a couple of relationships where the exact same challenge happens over and

structures that actually lead to women being disincentivized towards accountability. And I'm going to

1:24.8

talk to you guys about how you can actually support accountability

1:28.8

in your relationship. Because I think one of the most frustrating things for men, for all of us guys

1:33.3

in a relationship is when our partner, when a woman, our girlfriend, our wife can't take

1:37.1

accountability. They can be very, very frustrating because it can actually halt and diminish

1:43.4

the connection and the intimacy and the growth and the

1:47.1

progress of a relationship. And oftentimes men will take over accountability, which can lead to

1:53.8

the perception that men are the problem in the relationship. So let's dive in. Why do women avoid
