When Boyfriends Became Embarrassing: The Trend Vogue Missed

About this episode

Bridgette discusses the shifting perceptions of relationships and challenges the notion that having a boyfriend is embarrassing.

So I guess all of us girls are supposed to walk around not wanting a boyfriend because according to Vogue its "embarrassing".... In this episode of BridgetteUNFILTERED, Bridgette breaks down Chanté Joseph’s article, explores why the idea of being “partnered” is shifting, and argues this is NOT the case...well, not entirely. The real question isn’t is having a boyfriend embarrassing, but what kind of relationship you think you deserve.
