Episode notes
In today’s episode, chile, we’re decentering men! We discuss Journalist Chanté Joseph’s Vogue op-ed unpacking the question, is having a boyfriend in 2025 embarrassing? We also connect this to a tiktoker’s story exposing the harms of “male-centeredness”in women’s friendships. We unpack these topics with the help of literature surrounding the burden of knowledge, self-definition, heteronormativity, and sexual scripts theory.
This ain’t therapy but Tea & Theory is in session! So, grab your favorite cup of tea (or any other beverage, we ain’t judging!) and join us on the couch.
