And to everyone who wrote in or called this week to talk about sex, literally going, leaving the country.

But leaving, whether we're talking about leaving a shitty spouse or a shitty country, is always easier said than done. So I think we're going to do, I know I'm going to do, what most people in shitty relationships wind up doing. Staying and fighting.

And my heart goes out to you, to everybody out there right now, particularly the women in my audience, Marcotte stopped short of telling women to refuse to date or fuck men at all.
