3833 Toilet Trained at Gunpoint? - Call In Show - September 20th, 2017

Question 1: [1:24] – “Recent Conflict: ‘We went to the park because we both enjoy running. We walk to the entrance and I ask when are we starting to run. She says no we shouldn’t run because I don’t want to slow you down. I say that I want to run with you and it’s not about being slower/that’s my choice. She says no. Then an argument starts because I try to understand why she is unreasonable (which I define as being unable to shift a position based on logic/reason/evidence). Then we end up just doing our own thing. I do not like these conflicts because they make me feel powerless and she understands. She says she gets in moods and stuff and was even open to me recording her in a mood (which I did). I think it is normal to have ups and downs. All conflicts seem to start with the formula: I don’t want to do this because it will make you feel x which I consider not good for you.’”Question 2: [1:14:35] – “Given the amount of income inequality in the United States today, critics almost always cite the ever-nefarious force behind it all: corporate greed. After a debate I recently had, I began to question whether or not ‘greed’ was even a valid concept or simply something subjectively ascribed to those with - from those without. How can we establish what and how much people ‘need’ and when/if that consumption becomes ‘greed?’”Question 3: [1:30:38] – "Years ago I was in an abusive relationship and now I struggle with anxiety and depression. Then, in the last few years the SJW era began, which I feel essentially compounded my post-abuse condition due to its key feature of bullying and hating. I’m always so wrapped up in how I’m viewed and I'm hyper critical of myself all the time. I take everything personally and always worry whether I'm doing something wrong. It's also left me feeling jaded and bitter about the world. How can I stop criticizing myself so much and stop all these unproductive feelings?"Question 4: [2:49:43] – “I wholeheartedly agree with your arguments on the necessity of a stay at home parent for children. I would only feel at ease if I stayed at home with my children. This attitude is curtailing my career and romantic ambitions, as I cannot imagine earning resources away from my future children. How can I reluctantly accept the utility of a wife as a caregiver of my children and allow myself to unlock my male ambition as a provider?”Your support is essential to Freedomain Radio, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.
