Chapter 9: The Quiet Double Standard
from Booked and Unbothered Hosted by Booked and Unbothered
So here’s the thing: books love a broody, introverted man. Give him a tragic backstory, some sharp jawline silence, and suddenly he’s swoon-worthy. But when it comes to introverted women? We’re often written as quiet, meek, or in desperate need of being “fixed.” In this episode, I’m joined by Sam to unpack that double standard, talk about our own introvert experiences, and figure out why being quiet is so often misunderstood in fiction and in real life. Spoiler: quiet doesn’t mean weak.
