Shy pee-ers hand out some advice on relationships, just in time to confuse you before Valentine's day. We follow up on SJ's experience with the vulva dye, discuss what's bad (and good) about Cosmo,contemplate the romantic politics of gifts, and give you a ton of recommendations to have fun with.

Show notes

Feeling like you need some healthy lifestyle advice? There's none here. Instead, there's snark about ballet gear, early mornings, special snowflakes, whether feminism sucks the fun out of stuff, how fucked up we have to be to need vulva dye, and our usual recommendations.

Break your January slump with advice (and smack talk) about divorced spouses and step-parents, babysitting and how to avoid it, tetchy ranting about goddamn anti-feminists, and we Ask a Dude about Manliness. As usual there are recommendations, and a highly offensive Dubious Sex Toy.

Show notes at www.whatladder.wordpress.com

Dubious advice on enjoying the holiday season, including dealing with family, feminist hypocrisies, and Generation Snow. Extended Dubious Sex Toy discussion is about fundamentalist Christianity and kink; we also have a non-dubious sex toy amongst our recommendations.

Music at the end was "Gabriel's Message" by Sting, an excellent advent carol, because now that it is on advent, I am on a mission to see how much Christmas music I can get in to the podder before SJ's head asplode.

Dubious advice on making cocktails with bacon, whether couples can make friends, confronting the idea of humourless feminists when people make sexist jokes, and the homework denial controversy. As usual, we have Dubious Sex Toy and our recommendations for the week.

Apologies for the coughing husband in the background.

Closing music is a shout-out to Mr Falor; it's Hoppipolla by Sigur Ros.

Dubious advice on being angry about holiday cooking and/or marking, encouraging girls to do science, indoctrinating young men into the ways of feminism and dealing with scheduling during the holidays. Ask a Dude returns to consider the logistics of a BBG threesome; there's an extremely Dubious Sex Toy, and some great recommendations.

Apologies for sound quality - both of us were having internets issues this week. I have sorted mine out (fingers crossed).

Closing music is 3 by Britney Spears, chosen <em>OBVIOUSLY</em>, for thematic rather than musical merit.
