The Changing Landscape of Marriage in America
Rebecca Traster, a senior writer for New York Magazine, discusses the evolving marriage patterns in America through a feminist perspective. She highlights the emergence of a marriage panic and a push to make straight marriage more prevalent. Traster argues that marriage is being promoted not just as a solution for social isolation but as a campaign to normalize straight marriage. The root of this panic stems from significant changes in marriage patterns since the 1950s, which have coincided with broader cultural shifts.
