What If We’re Both Wrong? · Moming and Me: The Podcast

Najah: I think it's time that we stop arguing about whether women are the prize. Or whether men are the prize. I don't subscribe to either. Because the prize is connection. a healthy, loving, peaceful connection where both people feel like they won. Not one person being chased. And the other person being worshipped. We've somehow turned relationships into competitions instead of partnerships. And I don't think that's helping nobody. society has spent a long time assigning value differently. women have often been taught their value isn't how they look. Men have often been taught their values and what they can provide. whether that's fair or not. I don't subscribe to it. because regardless whether you're a man or a woman, You still want to feel respected. you still wanna feel appreciated. You still want affection. You still want peace. You still want to feel emotionally safe. And the need to feel loved. The need to feel seen? The need to feel valued? Those aren't assigned to one gender. There are human needs. So maybe we stop asking who's the prize? And start asking, are we creating a connection that feels like a gift to both of us? Because I don't want a relationship where one person feels lucky to be chosen. I would want a connection where we both feel fortunate to have found each other.
