Thanks to everyone who tuned into our Substack Live.
Tracy talked about her recent article in The Cut on how celebrity bots are changing fan culture and women’s fantasy lives—and what it all tells us about hetero dating right now. Amanda dug into her essay on the term heteropessimism, which has hit the zeitgeist and is being used to reject women’s complaints about men.
We also got into The Hunting Wives’ many taboos (including orgasmic breastfeeding), the age-gap fantasies of The Summer I Turned Pretty, and Jeremy Allen White’s love for flower arranging (there is hope yet for heterosexuality).
