Rebecca, it means so so much to hear you send love out there to those who may struggle on mother's and father's day. A lot of people including myself have estranged/strained relationships with parents and it warmed my heart to get that sweet final last word from you (p.s. I swore I posted this comment weeks ago but I guess it didn't go through!)

2024-05-06 21:29:41 +0000 UTCThe end of this episode is so hilarious. I can't wait for Rebecca to watch more LIB with Kirk and I ESPECIALLY can't wait for more instances of incidentally gay incidents.

2024-05-06 18:25:46 +0000 UTCVery unrelated to this episode, but I was at a roller derby event in Seattle yesterday & my partner said “This is a place I could see running into my therapist.” & I responded “This is a place I could see running into Rebecca from the psychology in Seattle podcast.” Hehe. Sadly, we didn’t!

2024-05-05 19:59:43 +0000 UTCThe Kinsey study that applied the scale to a sample (over 5000 men) was conducted using long-form interviews about their sexual history. The scale was applied to mean how many arousal and sexual encounters a person had over their life and even could change over time. (For example it may say a person had a period of over a certain number of years of being a 5, predominately having sexual experience/arousal with the same gender). So “incidentally homosexual” meant there were only a couple incidents of homosexual arousal or experiences. Not something that could be considered a pattern over time.

2024-05-04 20:29:59 +0000 UTCYay! I love the LiB (and Ultimatum) dialogues with Rebecca! Like Rebecca all my friends are strong-willed women with big personalities, too. However I can’t agree with her on Laura. Digging in on the bean dip thing reminded me of all the terrible experiences I’ve had with entitled people (of all genders). So I agree with Stacy! I have a hard time with the inflexibility and bulldozing behavior displayed by S1 Amber and Laura. They prompt an immediate “yuck” response in me.

2024-05-04 04:36:11 +0000 UTCI thought Laura’s personality with directness was fine and I liked the way she was protecting herself. I would be annoyed if someone treated me the way she treated Jessica, too. But the bean dip thing was unforgivable for me and then her behavior after. Completely tone deaf, talk about internalized misogyny- “joking” about your male partner sexually assaulting another woman, the overtones and extremely relevant racist implications. For me, it appears to be white woman racism and that pisses me off the way Kirk is pissed off by bad therapists.

2024-05-04 00:26:05 +0000 UTCIncidentally homosexual, for me, would be: experiences like kids at camp, or in prison, they call it “gay for the stay”, or in porn they call it “gay for pay”, or I’ve heard that college is a place where men explore sex with one another and never try again. I can think of a story a friend told me from the late aughts, he was cruising Craigslist like a hookup site and randomly saw a man offering oral sex and he took him up on it, and decided it wasn’t for him and never had anymore experiences.

2024-05-04 00:06:31 +0000 UTCI’m such a big fan of you Rebecca! My beef with Laura is that she is just not a safe white person for me. She kinda triggered me because I’ve been dehumanized like that before. Because sometimes race is the variable that makes sometimes good people behave in abhorrent ways. I honestly do love her confidence and no BS taking from her sleazy partner. Anyway I would LOVE for you to cover what your village looks like. My partner and I are fencesitters regarding child rearing and we are working towards having a village child or no child as a revolt against BS nuclear family isolation.

2024-05-03 22:57:06 +0000 UTCRebecca! A: I love you and am excited about your foray into LIB content. I haven’t been a fan of reality TV and Dr. Honda has helped me see the value of it w/ his LIB analyses. And now you jumping in is adding amazing new layers. Love it! B: And more importantly….. Can I get your list of the best wicking pajamas?!!!!!! Truly grateful for the discussion of menopause. I’m glad to see more women talking openly about it. C: Finally, I didn’t comment on the episode about grief and losing your mom, but I listened to it the week after my dad’s funeral and wept multiple times. That episode was valuable to me. Thank you for sharing so much.
