Episode 252: The origin of free and equal relationships
Summary
In our culture, we tend to have a very negative opinion associated with asking ”what’s in it for me?” in the context of our close and intimate relationships. It is perceived as selfish, or even mercenary. However, I’m here to argue that asking this question is actually the origin of free and equal relationships, provided both parties are at liberty to ask it. On the contrary, any relationship where one party is discouraged (or prevented) from asking the question is exploitative, by definition.
