Thanks to everyone who tuned into our Substack Live. We tackled so much:
a reader question about getting “the ick” for her husband
the gender politics of cozy baking shows
Dax Shepherd joking about not killing his wife
the way Love is Blind normalizes mutual hetero hatred
the utopian spectacle of straight men and women being (just!) friends
the dystopian spectacle of Skims’ merkin thongs
how one young man extricated himself from the manosphere
Alexander Skarsgard in a halter top
We also overanalyzed Jeremy Allen White’s new Interview photoshoot, in which he’s pictured with his hand down his pants. Tracy asked: “How do we feel about men holding their dicks like this? Pro? Anti?” Heated debate ensued and Amanda observed, “There’s a fine line between an itch and masturbation.”
