Teri and I dig into his claim that men and women carry different kinds of responsibility, protection for one, care for the vulnerable for the other, and Teri pushes back hard. By the end we're working through home invasion scenarios, mama bear instincts, and whether "the responsibility to protect" is just a nicer word for something sexist.From there the conversation turns to a statistic that stopped us both: women file for divorce roughly seventy percent of the time. We try to work out why, and it leads somewhere neither of us expected, into a story Teri heard from a Christian marriage group about women who've gone years without any intimacy with their husbands, and what that might say about what's actually missing underneath.We close this half on Peterson's read of Eve's sin: not weakness, but what he calls the narcissism of compassion, the idea that caring for someone can quietly become more about you than about them. Teri isn't fully convinced. We go back and forth on Cain and Abel, proper sacrifice, and where compassion has to have limits. Part two picks up right where we leave off, with Adam.Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BrentonPeckPodcastClips Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@BrentonPeckPodcastClipsSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0agab3nx2RVMbALWG4Lvr4Substack: https://brentonpeckpodcast.substack.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BrentonPeckPodcast/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brentonpeckpodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@brentonpeckpodcastWebsite: https://www.brentonpeckpodcast.comTeri Peck, co-host and creator of Peck's NestFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/pecksnestInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/pecksnestTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pecksnestYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PecksNestBooks & ResourcesAs an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.We Who Wrestle with God: Perceptions of the Divine — Jordan B.
