Über diesen Titel
A troubling account of heterosexual desire in the era of #MeToo
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 couples' therapy in a search for happiness.
In The Tragedy of Heterosexuality, Jane Ward smartly explores what, exactly, is wrong with heterosexuality in the 21st 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."

For women, this book provides legitimation for but also criticism of the complains they have with men, and offers a more distanced perspective that centers personal responsibility.
If you’re a straight man, please listen to this

Grounded in realness and everyday lived experiences of lesbians/non-cis men of many identities.
Surprisingly humorous.
Very understanding of the conflicting privileges of hetronormativity vs genuine self-actualisation for many people marked as women. Questioning, critical and compassionate about male isolation.
Still relevant
A lot to think about... recommended.
Easy to understand, yet complex concepts. Inteesectional
