Do Women Need Men? - LaRocque Life Podcast Ep 43

Nov 23, 2022

Women don’t need men.

Men and women are not equal.

Have we triggered you yet?

If we have, that’s good, not because we want to start any internet fights or piss people off, but because it means that there’s something inside yourself that you may want to pay attention to.

In this episode, we’re talking about how modern feminism is messing up relationships with men. There, we said it. It’s causing confusion in men, it’s causing unnecessary conflict, and it’s causing men to feel like they have to walk on eggshells.

We’ll be sharing what we mean by “modern feminism,” how it is messing things up, and answering the question: do women really need men? The answer might surprise you.
