Ep. 78 Why Do You Hesitate to Decenter Men?

Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of Charlie's Toolbox! In this week's installment, we delve into the intriguing topic of decentering men and the palpable hesitation that often accompanies such discussions.
Our host has been immersing herself in the pages of "The Courage to be Disliked," exploring the concept of teleology. This philosophy interprets actions and behaviors based on the purpose they serve rather than the causes that trigger them. As we apply this lens to the theme of decentering men, our host reflects on the hesitations many women experience and asks the pivotal question: What purpose does this hesitation serve?
Join us as we unravel three compelling reasons behind this hesitation, recognizing that this list is by no means exhaustive but serves as a catalyst for contemplation. It's a conversation that challenges norms and encourages introspection, empowering women to navigate the complexities of societal expectations. Tune in, ponder, and let's embark on this enlightening journey together.
