We knew it was possible, but the reality is chilling for anyone trying to be creative, hence the use of our word "gobsmacked". But we put on our big girl panties and decided to be a shining example of optimism and hope among a tornado of shit and stupidity.
In this episode, we catch up on our lives, Adam overshares, Sarah censors herself for once, and then we dive into the good, the bad, and the ugly. What are some of ..read more

Tone policing is one of the most pervasive examples of male privilege and systemic misogyny in society today. Why are assertive women called bossy and shamed for their tones when assertive men are promoted? Why is society obsessed with being "ladylike" or polite as a way to censor women, especially women of color, and anyone who's femme-presenting? Even more insidious is the self-tone policing, when women apologize unnecessarily, are polite to men who don't deserve it, and judge themselves for ridiculous reasons. Adam and Sarah spend this episode talking about why it's time to stop being polit ..read more

So. The crusty orange rapist won again. Now what?
Sarah and Adam record a new episode after a too long hiatus to discuss the 4B movement, how to stop interacting with men at all to stay safe, screening out men who voted for the bloated shitstain, and how to retain your bodily autonomy in a society where women have been relegated to second-class citizens.

The DKS summer break continues with another classic episode from October 2019! Pick-up artists aren't artists of any kind. They're pathetic garbage humans who rely on bullshit ideologies and slavishly follow in the tiny shallow footsteps of losers who give themselves nicknames like "Mystery" and "Juggle" while spouting out theories on getting laid that all boil down to massive failures on a monumental level. But how do Sarah and Adam really feel about it? Listen as your Dating Kinda Sucks hosts talk about platonic cuddling, actual ways to engage with women, and why anyone who thinks pick-up ar ..read more
