Show notes:

• We don’t want to close our hearts. We don’t want to nag. We don’t want to complain. We don’t thrive in states of chronic closure. Madelyn's Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/B5qH9UbnRhA/
• “If a man cannot stand up to her, he cannot stand up for her—and she will feel that.” - Dominick Quartuccio
• “I believe that women are so entirely equal in all value that nothing is taken from us if we choose to surrender to man—not by someone who is unconscious, or in an unsafe container, but by the chosen man.”
• Why Dominick's romantic partners have been calling for his “dark side.”
