Pop the Culture 005: Do men always have to initiate relationships?

Relationships. Almost everyone stresses over these things. Butterflies in tummies, holding hands, planning a future together, and all that jazz. The thing is, somebody has to start it off, be the trigger, or ask that famous question; “what are we?” or perhaps more importantly; “would you like to go out with me?”

Who is this person though? Society says the guy should do it. Some of the guys wonder why the lady can’t do it herself! Thus, we set off to find out if this case of the guy being responsible for starting relationships is the only way.

We got Mark Amaza on this episode and boy, it was a fun conversation. From defining relationships to questioning certain gender roles to popping questions, Pop the Culture dove in headfirst on this one.
