Early on in this book, he was talking about how he wanted to go back to dating as if it was in the 1800s. Now, if we
00:00:07
look at historically like dating and we look at dating even within the Bible, one of the reasons I think the Bible
00:00:13
doesn't talk a lot about dating is because at the time women were like bought and sold. A lot of times it was
00:00:20
these plays within families to strengthen themselves like strengthen their their worth, their their value,
00:00:27
their standing in society. And it's like Josh, why are we going back to that?
00:00:35
Because now we're coming out of that and we're coming into a place where women
00:00:40
can have a say. Women can have a voice and they can say, you know, I value these things in a partner. Before they
00:00:47
couldn't do that. I think it's interesting this push within Christianity specifically in this book,
00:00:54
but I think by so many to kind of go back to this like maledominated 1800's view of of romance
00:01:04
as opposed to we're in a different place now. We've evolved as a society. We've
00:01:10
changed the rules. We we evolve, we change, we grow, we become better. And um yeah, it just
00:01:19
honestly feels very like patriarchical um and nasty to be quite honest.
