Episode notes
Conflicting Myths About Youth Sexuality
- Older generations portray youth as simultaneously hypersexual and sexually inactive, creating contradictory myths about young people's sex lives.
- This contradiction fuels anxieties like the incel narrative that sexual freedom somehow denies men access to sex.
Hypergamy And Historical Monogamy
- Hypergamy describes women's tendency to prefer partners with status and resources, which shapes sexual competition and social dynamics.
- Historical monogamy often enforced marital status on women while allowing men informal polygamy, complicating modern views on fidelity.
Dan Savage On Monogamy's Gender Bias
- Stefan recounts Dan Savage's observation that historical monogamy enforced marital status more strictly on women than on men's sexual behavior.
- He uses the example to show cultural assumptions about monogamy are historically narrow.
