Publisher's summary

Ever wonder how women were supposed to pee, menstruate, and defecate with their chastity belts locked on and their husbands riding off to the Crusades? Well, put that quandary to bed! As revealed by a Boing Boing article that Susie discusses, the belts were a big joke in the Middle Ages. Today, men still enjoy fantasies about horny women with wild sexual appetites who must be controlled. And for women, the fantasy is "I belong to a cruel master." That's fun modern-day role playing, but actual medieval chastity belts were a myth.

Next, Susie talks about Tinder, an app that many women are using to hook up, chat, and find sex partners. A user swipes through pictures to decide whom they like. Last year the company reported one billion swipes per day, which then produced 12 million daily matches. No more "let's meet for coffee"; this is dating protocol in the age of social media.

Finally, it's "What's New on Audible". Susie introduces us to Our Man in the Dark by Rashad Harrison, narrated by J.D. Jackson, which tells the story of the civil rights movement using historical and noir genre techniques. The plot involves informants, FBI meddling, and Martin Luther King's assassination, all of which Harrison uses to weave a novel filled with shadows and suspense.
