60: Heterosexual History 101: Why It’s Been a Hot Mess (with Britta Jo)

In this spicy, eye-opening episode, Quinn and Britta take a wild ride through the history and heartbreak of heterosexuality—inspired by Jane Ward’s brilliant book, The Tragedy of Heterosexuality. They explore: 🕰️ The surprising history of how romantic heterosexual love was never the default—and how the invention of modern marriage was more about control than connection. 🧠 The role of patriarchy and capitalism in shaping straight relationships into something that often feels unsatisfying, especially for women. 💔 Why straight women often feel unseen, overworked, and under-loved—and why this isn’t a personal failure but a systemic issue. 💡 The internalized misogyny and benevolent sexism that still show up in modern dating and marriage. 🔥 Real talk from two besties about the absurdity of relationships with straight men and why some women are saying, “I’m good, thanks.” Plus: Stoic wisdom, messy laughter, personal stories, and truth bombs about the straight struggle. This one’s for our divorced divas, hetero skeptics, and anyone who’s ever asked: Is this really what love is supposed to feel like? PostDivorceGlowUp.com Email: [email protected]
