7/24/25 8AM: Are Men Too Soft?

The conversation continues into hour two around Uber’s new initiative to pair more women passengers with women drivers and vice versa, along with the “Tea” app with the goal of exposing and making more women aware of sketchy & questionable men in their area. Carrie shares her experiences while out alone and her feelings regarding having to be aware of her own safety, along with Ben noting his own experiences and preferences with his drivers. They further unpack the “Tea” app and the dangers/practicality of the platform where information can be shared without people being able to defend themselves, joined by listeners sharing their thoughts on the modern dating world, the liberation movement for women & more. Ben then takes us down his “Rabbit Hole” for a discussion on the new generation of Men & asks “Are Men Becoming Too Soft”? His thoughts sparked by the conversation from earlier & moments in his childhood where his household of women gave him tasks to affirm and prove his manhood. He shares a video as well listing large societal changes that have taken some of the hard tasks of men in prior generations off of their plates.
