The vast majority of women are heterosexual. Not “bi,” not lesbian,” not “sexually fluid.” So why do we pretend otherwise?
On the podcast, I speak with Phoebe Maltz Bovy, author of The Last Straight Woman: On Desiring Men, about this question, about why some strands of feminism view heterosexuality as “socialized” or “compulsory,” about the idea that straight women don’t even really like sex with men all that much, and more.
I am a living, breathing, independent writer and podcaster! Fully human (adult; female). I avoid putting most of my work behind a paywall, because I want other humans to read and listen to it, but also, this is my job, and I depend on subscribers and donors to do it. If you enjoy my work, please consider becoming a paid subscriber! If you aren’t ready to become a paid subscriber, but wish to support my work, please consider a donation. Many thanks.
