Episode 593 - There's Nothing Wrong With Wanting Men (w/ Magdalene J. Taylor)
About this episode
Magdalene J. Taylor returns to discuss her essay on the positive aspects of heterosexual relationships amidst a trend of cynicism.
Senior editor at Playboy, Magdalene J. Taylor, returns to Bad Faith to discuss her viral (and somewhat infamous) New York Times essay, "There's Nothing Wrong With Wanting Men." Responding to a trend toward "hetero-pessimism," or a cynical feeling that heterosexual relationships are beyond repair due largely to something 'wrong' with men, she offers a counter argument: There's never been a better time to be straight. Reasonable minds can disagree.
