Episode 1: Treating, Or Why No One Really Knows Who Should Pay For What Anymore
Update: 2015-09-23
Description
Hey guys! We’re excited to share our first podcast with you on treating, this practice of men paying for dates and expecting things in return. In it, we talk about the most recent time Lauren texted Erin from the bathroom of a bad date, and the conversation that drove Lauren into that bathroom.
Turns out we can blame industrialization and women’s low pay in factories for every awkward “should-I-pay-sort-of-grab-the-wallet-half-eye-contact-argggghghg” situation that any of us has ever endured. Also, we’ll discuss the super-sexual history of roller coasters, when prostitution became a career (it’s newer than you think), male guilt for letting ladies pay, and talk to our friend Kate for a non-hetero perspective on the who pays dilemma.
