Hopoksia PodcastNot a Patriarchy PrincessLast episode, Summer promised to answer the audience question "what was it like to date a disciple of Kevin Samuels?"; so today she's going to do just that. The take away from her experience: you can't opt into patriarchy (or relationships with patriarchal men) & still hope to somehow be exempt from the harmful, negative effects, so don't ignore red flags. Choose healthy dynamics instead of spinning your wheels in the sand, because you'll only hurt yourself.
