#84. Why Women Are Really Angry at Voice Memo Guy
Summary
Psychiatrist Hannah Speer analyzes a viral voice memo where a man demands sex on a second date, arguing he uses therapeutic jargon to mask a lack of commitment. She critiques experts who defend his behavior, asserting that "sexual compatibility" is not a fixed trait and that his ultimatum exposes women’s mixed signals. Speer advises listeners to believe men when they state their intentions and to avoid being easy targets.
