Why is Having a Boyfriend Embarrassing Now?

from Girls Gotta Eat Hosted by Dear Media

We are unpacking the Vogue article heard 'round the world that posed the question "Is having a boyfriend embarrassing now?" We discuss what prompted a question like this and why the conversation blew up, the cultural shift in relationship dynamics, our thoughts on whether boyfriends are in fact embarrassing, the response to the article (both good and bad, and from both men and women), and more. We also rank the worst fictional boyfriends of all time, from Friends to Sex and the City to Disney. And before we get into the topic, Rayna updates us on her comedy journey and Ashley discusses her prenup. Enjoy!
