Hard Pass: "Feed That Man"

In this episode of Hard Pass, Hindi and Chayale dig into the outdated and oversimplified advice: “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” From the pressure to always have food cooking to the belief that feeding your husband is the key to a successful marriage, they explore how this message reduces men to basic impulses and leaves women feeling undervalued, overwhelmed, or inadequate—especially if cooking isn't their strength or passion.

With their usual warmth and clarity, the hosts reframe the role of food in a relationship: nourishing your family is beautiful, but it’s not the foundation of emotional intimacy or connection. Hindi and Chayale unpack how this kind of advice can be subtly controlling, condescending, and ultimately harmful to both partners. Instead, they advocate for a more balanced, respectful view—where love isn’t earned through meals, but built through mutual understanding, communication, and genuine care.
