Description
The Tragedy of Heterosexuality by Jane Ward In the era of #MeToo, reports of sexual harassment, misconduct, and rape are increasingly common. Straight men and women spend thousands of dollars on relationship coaches, seduction boot camps, and couple's therapy in search of happiness. Jane Ward explores what is wrong with heterosexuality in the 21st century and what straight people can do to fix it. Ward examines how straight women and men have tried to mend a patriarchal system where intimacy, sexual fulfillment, and mutual respect are expected to coexist alongside inequality, alienation, and violence in straight relationships. She also looks at the multi-billion-dollar self-help industry, which markets goods and services to help heterosexual couples without addressing the root of their problems. Ward encourages straight men and women to take a different approach, one that values respect and human connection.
