From the jump, they offer a f<b>resh perspective on privilege (02:51)</b> and unpack the <b>hierarchy of privilege (05:57)</b> that exists in our society.

Is marriage still the goal—or has the goal changed?<br /><br />In this thought-provoking episode of <i><b>Selective Igonorance</b></i>, Mandii B sits down with seasoned dating and relationship coach Alison (<a href="https://www.alignwithalison.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><i>Align With Alison</i></a>) to unpack how modern views on marriage are shifting, especially for successful women. Kicking things off at [<i><b>00:00 – The Evolution of Marriage</b></i>], they explore the roots of the institution and how its purpose has transformed over time. By [<i><b>03:15 – Challenging Traditional Views on Marriage</b></i>], the conversation starts pushing back on long-held beliefs, asking if tying the knot still holds the same weight in today’s world. As the discussion deepens, they reflect on [<i><b>07:41 – The Value of Commitment in Relationships</b></i>], highlighting what it really means to choose someone—and how that commitment can show up in different ways. At [<i><b>10:20 – Vetting Partners: The Key to Successful Relationships</b></i>], the guest breaks down why being intentional about who you allow into your life is crucial. That leads to a candid look at [<i><b>13:58 – Understanding the Risks of Marriage</b></i>] and the realities people often overlook when love and legal contracts mix. They don’t stop there. By [<i><b>20:34 – Preparing for the Reality of Relationships</b></i>], they’re talking about the emotional, financial, and personal groundwork that needs to happen before anyone says “I do.” That naturally flows into [<i><b>24:52 – Navigating Business Relationships and Personal Vetting</b></i>], where they touch on how similar principles apply in both love and entrepreneurship. The conversation returns to romantic partnerships at [<i><b>28:40 – Understanding Risks in Relationships and Marriage</b></i>], and then zooms in on actionable steps during [<i><b>30:36 – Financial Protection for Successful Women</b></i>], where they break down how to be smart and secure without guilt or shame. At [<i><b>32:24 – Societal Pressures on Women Regarding Marriage and Motherhood</b></i>], the discussion turns personal, unpacking the weight women carry to “have it all” and what happens when they choose a different path. By [<i><b>36:03 – Setting Boundaries and Defining Personal Value</b></i>], they offer empowering advice on how to stand firm in your worth—no ring required. And finally, at [<i><b>40:30 – Redefining Lasting Love Beyond Traditional Norms</b></i>], they close the loop by asking: What does lasting love really look like when you write the rules yourself? Whether you're single, partnered, or somewhere in between, this episode invites you to think beyond tradition—and lean into what’s true for you.<br /><br /><b>Follow the Guest: </b><br /><b>IG:<a href="https://https//www.instagram.com/alignwithalison" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> @alignwithalison</a></b><br /><a href="https://www.alignwithalison" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><b>www.alignwithalison</b></a><br /><b><br />Watch the full videos of each episode by subscribing to Patreon at<a href="https://patreon.com/selectiveignorance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> </a><a href="http://patreon.com/selectiveignorance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Patreon.com/selectiveignorance</a></b><br /><b><br />Follow the host on Social Media</b><br /><b>Mandii B Instagram/X<a href="https://instagram.com/fullcourtpumps" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> @fullcourtpumps</a></b><br /><b><br />Follow the show on Social Media</b><br /><b>Instagram<a href="https://instagram.com/selective_ignorance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> @selective_ignorance</a></b><br /><b>Tiktok<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@selective.ignorance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> @selective.ignorance</a></b><br /><b>X/Twitter @selectiveigpod</b><br />

On this episode of Selective Ignorance, Mandii B and special guests Kazeem Famuyide <i>(<b><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/7pm-in-brooklyn-with-carmelo-anthony/id1719570183" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">7pm In Brooklyn</a></b>)</i> and Kevin Clancey <i>(<b><a href="https://www.barstoolsports.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Barstool Sports</a></b>)</i> take a deep dive into the layers of race, personal branding, and economics shaping the world of sports, with a spotlight on the WNBA and the rivalry between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. The conversation kicks off with <b><i>The Problematic Nature of Race in Sports (00:00)</i></b> before debating <i><b>who truly represents the league’s future (01:57).</b></i> As we compare <i><b>Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese (05:06)</b></i>, we examine how race and public perception influence their careers and media narratives. Beyond the rivalry, we explore <i><b>The Economic Landscape of Women's Basketball (10:08)</b></i> and how<i><b> personal branding plays a crucial role in an athlete’s success (11:31)</b></i>. The discussion expands to the <i><b>broader impact of Race and Gender in Sports Narratives (16:19)</b></i>—<i><b>who gets to be the hero, and who is cast as the villain (20:19)</b></i>? Shifting gears, we talk about the art of the game, from <i><b>The Aesthetic Appeal of Athletic Performance (23:31)</b></i> to the <i><b>Ball family’s undeniable influence on modern basketball (28:03</b></i>). We also break down T<i><b>he Rise of Caitlin Clark (30:13)</b></i> and the ever-present scrutiny of <i><b>Controversial Athlete Behavior (31:34)</b></i>. The episode takes an unexpected yet hilarious turn into everyday struggles, including <i><b>Airport Etiquette and Travel Experiences (36:10)</b></i>—because let’s be real, navigating TSA is a sport in itself. But we bring it back to the serious stuff, unpacking <i><b>Accountability in Sports (46:26)</b></i> and the role race plays in how we judge <i><b>winners and losers (55:20)</b></i>. From the power of celebrity influence to the moral dilemmas of sports fandom, this episode pulls no punches.
