Is heterosexuality over?

from Think from KERA · host KERA

Dating should be fun, but single, straight people are finding it a drudgery or even worse cringe. Magdalene J. Taylor, senior editor at Playboy, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss “heteropessimism” where straight people don’t have positive feelings about playing the field why men label women as self-absorbed and women call men “toxic,” and why we need to turn these ideas on their heads. Her essay “There’s Nothing Wrong With Wanting Men” was published in The New York Times. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
