Let's call it what it is: the
tragedy
of
heterosexuality
-- He's just not that into you: the misogyny paradox -- Pickup artists: inside the seduction industry -- A sick and boring life: queer people diagnose the
tragedy
-- Deep
heterosexuality
: toward a future in which straight men like women so much that they actually like women.
Summary:
"
Heterosexuality
is in crisis. Reports of sexual harassment, misconduct, and rape saturate the news in the era of #MeToo. Straight men and women spend thousands of dollars every day on relationship coaches, seduction boot camps, and couple's therapy in a search for happiness. In The
Tragedy
of
Heterosexuality
, Jane Ward smartly explores what, exactly, is wrong with
heterosexuality
in the twenty-first century, and what straight people can do to fix it for good. She shows how straight women, and to a lesser extent straight men, have tried to mend a fraught patriarchal system in which intimacy, sexual fulfillment, and mutual respect are expected to coexist alongside enduring forms of inequality, alienation, and violence in straight relationships. Ward also takes an intriguing look at the multi-billion-dollar self-help industry, which markets goods and services to help heterosexual couples without addressing the root of their problems. Ultimately, she encourages straight men and women to take a page out of queer culture, reminding them 'about the human capacity to desire, fuck, and show respect at the same time.'"-- Publisher.
