Nothing is better than sex between two people who love and trust each other deeply, yet our culture tries to sell marital sex as “boring” and one-night stands to be “liberating”.

So, in Episode No. 34 of Miss Understood, we talk about sex, baby — in the confines of marriage, of course — following Full House star Candace Cameron Bure's recent interview with Mayim Bialik for her “Breakdown” podcast, where she defined sex in marriage as a “gift from God” that should be celebrated.

We also list some of the dating advice divorce lawyers have for couples and try to define if going to a strip club, getting a lap dance, or dirty dancing with someone of the opposite sex should be considered adultery. We may disagree on a few of these, but some indecent acts are a hard “NO” in a monogamous relationship.

Plus, revolutionaries are speaking out against the inhumane treatment of women in Iran. So, we address the growing momentum of the hijab protests, providing some historical context by looking back on the 1979 revolution when Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini seized control of Iran's government and forced the nation under fundamentalist Islamic rule.

We also debate euthanasia laws in Canada and question the ethics of being able to get medically assisted suicide and the slippery slope it can create.

Of course, Hollywood can’t stop romanticizing murderers, and Netflix’s latest show, The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, seems to have done just that. So naturally, we add our two cents to the conversation. We argue that the glamourization of serial killers creates more of them and sympathizing with their troubled upbringings is disrespectful to victims of their crimes.

And to round out the episode, we end on a lighter note by talking about Russia and the thousands of men fleeing the country to avoid conscription for a war they morally oppose.

Miss Understood No. 33 — The Top 4 Worst: Male Edition

In Episode No. 33 of Miss Understood, we piggyback off last week’s episode and rank who we think the worst four men in the media are right now.

Leonardo DiCaprio is the first person we accuse of being the worst for his eco-hypocrisy and inability to date women over 25. He's an actor, a well-known climate activist and a cradle robber. He’s recently made a splash in the headlines for allegedly breaking up with his 25-year-old model girlfriend of four years due to her age and has been spotted mingling with Gigi Hadid, a rich kid, and famous model.

Second, and likely the worst, is Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — no explanation necessary.

The third man accused of being the worst is singer and frontman for Maroon 5, Adam Levine. He is married with kids, with another on the way, and despite denying it, has been accused of cheating on his supermodel pregnant wife with an “Instagram model.” We hope it was worth it, Adam.

Finally, everyone’s favourite queer-baiting homewrecker, Harry Styles, makes the list due to allegedly breaking up his now-girlfriend Olivia Wilde’s family while filming a movie and for keeping his sexuality ambiguous for attention.
