When I first read The Tragedy of Heterosexuality by Jane Ward, my life was ruined.In it she writes, “...people cannot be rescued from forms of suffering that they themselves relate to as badges of honor.”And, “In no way do I intend to imply that couples should spend every minute together, but if we held straight couples to basic standards of good friendship—mutual respect and affection and a sense of comfort and bondedness based on shared experience—many straight relationships would fail the test.”These are insights that will destroy you.  And as if I weren't wrecked enough, Jane Ward, herself came on the podcast to talk about Chappell Roan, raising good kids, heteropessimism and so much more.Jane Ward is professor and chair of Feminist Studies at University of California Santa Barbara, where she teaches and writes about gender and sexual cultures. She is the author of multiple books, including The Tragedy of Heterosexuality, described by The New York Times Book Review as "a somber, urgent academic examination of the many ways in which opposite-sex coupling can hurt the very individuals who cling to it most. "This season was generously sponsored by Funny Girls, which is a program run by the Harnisch Foundation that uses improv to teach leadership skills to girls and nonbinary kids in grades 3 to 8.

Charlotte Shane joins Kate Wolf to speak about her latest book, An Honest Woman: A Memoir of Love and Sex Work. Detailing Shane's many years as a sex worker, the book is also a candid examination of her own sexuality, as well as her deep fascination with the sex lives and interior worlds of men. Shane writes about the importance of her early “sexperimentation” with a group of close guy friends in high school; the nuances of her relationship to her father, her husband, and her clients—especially the almost decade long bond she shared with one of them named Roger. She comes to sex work, and even heterosexuality, with both curiosity and empathy, as well as a feminist perspective. Her book focuses less on matters of harm and power than the intricacies of desire and the variety of intimacy possible between women and men. Also, Sarah Manguso, author of Liars, returns to recommend Soldier Sailor by Claire Kilroy.

Ever found yourself chuckling over the daily hiccups of life, like a Tigger onesie disaster or the overzealous use of a Zoom filter? That's just a teaser of what's in store when Lindsay, our special guest, joins us to dissect the lighter side of life and the heavier topics of body positivity and mental health. Together, we muse over the idiosyncrasies of our days, from the comfort of lazy Sundays to the emotionally charged terrain of heteronormative relationships, with books like "The Tragedy of Heterosexuality" and "Fed Up" guiding our banter.The rollercoaster ride of diet culture, with its peaks and valleys, is something many of us know all too well. In this heart-to-heart, Lindsay Chris and Lisa pull back the curtain on how our families shaped our early interactions with dieting, and how communal dieting can affirm harmful behaviours and skew our perceptions of body image. As we journey through our personal narratives of weight struggles and societal pressure, we celebrate the liberating philosophies in "The Fck It Diet" and "Health at Every Size," and the courage it takes to break free from the toxic narratives wrapped around our bodies.Wrapping up our chat with some food for thought (and soul), we delve into the joyful world of movement, the myths of exercise correlating with weight loss, and the power of rewarding ourselves with the simple pleasures of life—like a walk to grab our favorite subs. We also embrace the art of listening to our bodies' cravings and the nurturing aspects of intuitive eating, ensuring that we're not just nourishing our bodies, but also our spirits. It's all rounded off with some "Listen Bitch" affirmations, ensuring we kick off our week with the right dose of sass and self-respect. This episode isn't just a conversation; it's a celebration of self, sustenance, and the occasional steak mushroom melt sub.Support the showDo you have a story you would like to share?

We're living in polarized times – particularly, when it comes to questions of identity, such as race and culture and gender. At the same time, our growing cultural diversity is at this point baked into the future. Within the next 20 years, the majority of Americans will identify as something other than white; that's already the case in four states. In the 2020 Census, nearly 40 million people identified themselves as multiracial, almost a 300 percent increase from a decade before. Just in time for Valentine's Day, host Kai Wright opens the phones to callers to share what they've learned about themselves from finding love across differences. Kai's joined by Marya T. Mtshali, assistant professor of sociology at Bucknell University who studies intersectional theory, and author of the forthcoming book, “(In)Visible Terrains: Race, Gender, and Heterosexuality in the Lives of Interracial Couples.” They break down the real statistics behind our societal perceptions about intercultural relationships of all kinds.

Jared Moore is the Pastor of Homesteads Baptist in Crossville, TN. In his recent book, “Lust of the Flesh,” Jared examines current movements within the American evangelical church related to sexuality. Jared takes to task various proponents of same-sex attraction within the church. He also looks to church history to give weight to this important matter. My endorsement of Jared's book: “In this accessible volume, Dr. Moore has done a tremendous work for the church today. The issue of sinful desires and lust is a fierce battleground for Christians, and many are harmed by bad teaching on these matters. Dr. Moore's contribution to the church is certain to build her up to think clearly on such crucial topics. Christians and pastors will benefit greatly from the clear biblical and theological thinking found within."Support the show!! - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisJared on X - https://twitter.com/jaredhmooreBuy “Lust of the Flesh” - https://amzn.to/3QTwM5rBuy “Lust of the Flesh” - https://freegracepress.com/collections/new-releases/products/the-lust-of-the-fleshSupport the showSign up for the Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisFollow Full Proof Theology on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fullprooftheology/Follow Full Proof Theology on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/fullprooftheology/

Why wait to be happy? Lyz Lenz was waiting, and waiting. She was married, she had two children, she was building a career as a writer that she loved. But she was in a marriage that was not working. Or, she was in a marriage that was not working for her. Once she realized this - and realized that it was not going to change - she ended her marriage. This started her life. We are not taking liberties here with her bio - this is taken directly from the title of Lyz's upcoming book, "This American Ex-Wife: How I Ended My Marriage and Started My Life," which drops this coming February. Lyz is now a nationally-recognized journalist and expert on politics, feminism, motherhood and ambition, faith and calling out the patriarchy, gleefully and righteously and without fear or favor. This will be her third book examining the structures that seek to control women (her two previous books were on faith and pregnancy/childbirth respectively), which we recommend reading along with her companion-piece newsletter, "Men Yell At Me." Lyz talks about all of this and more in this candid, funny conversation in this episode of "Your New Life Blend" with host Shoshanna Hecht, including where women can actually find freedom, the power of refusal, and all the reasons not to wait to be happy.

https://www.latterdaysurvivors.org/podcast1/episode/d4881398/deep-thoughts-on-compulsory-heterosexuality-with-sarah-and-kindraIn this episode Sara and Kindra discuss our experiences with compulsory heterosexuality as former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. 

Heterosexuality isn't what you think it is. In this episode, historian Hanne Blank Boyd flips the script on how we view sexual orientation, showing how the concept of "heterosexuality" has only existed for around 150 years. Hanne traces how modern capitalism led "heterosexual" to emerge as a term for normal, moral sexuality, allowing the middle class to prove their respectability. Even now, assuming heterosexuality as the default norm skews scientific research on sexuality.

It's Thursday, June 15th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark European Christian faces prison for embracing heterosexuality Last Friday, a Christian went on trial in the Mediterranean island country of Malta.  Matthew Grech faces fines and prison time under charges of discussing and advertising “conversion practices.” Back in 2022, he had simply spoken to a media outlet about his conversion to Christianity and leaving a homosexual lifestyle. Malta became the first country in Europe to criminalize so-called “conversion therapy” in 2016. Ahead of the trial, Grech said, “My Christian journey of transformation, from being a practicing homosexual interested in the occult . . .  to becoming a committed Evangelical Christian, is one that should be told without fear of being criminalized.” Paul wrote in Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.” Contracting European economies The Eurozone is a currency union of 20 member states of the European Union. Based on the latest data from the European Union's statistical agency, there has been a slide into recession during the first quarter of this year. The 20-nation bloc has experienced a decline in its Gross Domestic Product for two consecutive quarters now. Ireland led the first quarter drop in GDP. Other contracting economies included the Netherlands, Malta, Germany, and Greece.  Economists expect further economic decline in the Eurozone over the rest of the year. Alabama, Texas, Indiana, & Mississippi friendliest to religious liberty The Napa Legal Institute released its first annual “Faith and Freedom Index” yesterday. The report ranks U.S. states based on their friendliness to religious freedom and regulatory freedom for nonprofits. Overall, Alabama, Texas, Indiana, and Mississippi scored the highest while Maryland, Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin scored the lowest. Mary Margaret Beecher, Executive Director of Napa Legal, said, “Faith-based nonprofits face threats to their religious freedom and the often-crushing weight of regulatory burdens. If we value faith-based organizations . . . our state laws should encourage, not hinder, these organizations.” JPMorgan Chase punished for enabling Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking JPMorgan Chase agreed to a $290 million settlement on Monday with victims of Jeffrey Epstein.  The lawsuit accuses the banking giant of knowingly facilitating Epstein's sex trafficking operations through financial means for decades. Last month, Deutsch Bank agreed to a $75 million settlement in a similar case. Catholic health network performed transgender surgeries & abortions A new report from the Lepanto Institute exposes the largest Catholic healthcare network in the U.S. for performing so-called sex-change surgeries.  The report accuses facilities with CommonSpirit Health of performing transgender-related services, abortions, and sterilizations.  The Lepanto Institute stated, “Given everything contained in this report, it is clear that CommonSpirit Health is NOT a Catholic institution and must be immediately stripped of its Catholic identity.” Disturbing church attendance trends post-COVID Dr. George Barna released another report on Tuesday about the reshaping of Christian beliefs and behaviors since the COVID-19 pandemic.  The study noted three trends. First, the proportion of U.S. adults who attend church services weekly is 33% this year, down from 39% at the start of the pandemic. Plus, the proportion of Americans who attend church infrequently or never attend, jumped from 41% to 56% since the pandemic.  Second, Christian affiliation in the U.S. is now 68%, down from 72% in 2020. Both Protestants and Catholics experienced declines in affiliation. Among Protestants, mainline denominations saw the largest increases in affiliation since the pandemic.  And third, the incidence of adults possessing a Biblical worldview declined over the course of the pandemic from 6% to 4%. Biblical worldview incidence among evangelicals decreased from 21% to 14%; among mainline denominations it decreased from 8% to 6%. It held at 1% among Catholics.  Christian jockey thanks Jesus Christ, credits horse, for Belmont win And finally, the thoroughbred colt Arcangelo won the Belmont Stakes on Saturday. The victory makes Jena Antonucci the first female trainer to win a Triple Crown race. Her victory comes on the 50th anniversary of the historic Belmont win by racehorse Secretariat, owned by Penny Chenery. Jockey Javier Castellano guided Arcangelo through the one-and-a-half-mile race in just over two minutes and 29 seconds. Castellano already won this year's Kentucky Derby, riding another racehorse named Mage. The jockey credited the amazing horse in Saturday's race, but first he gave thanks to the Lord Jesus Christ for giving him the opportunity to win. CASTELLANO: “First of all, I always say, thank the Lord Jesus Christ for giving me the opportunity to win a second Triple Crown, the third Triple Crown this year, second Triple Crown for myself.  I give all the credit to the horse.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, “In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Thursday, June 15th in the year of our Lord 2023. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

On this episode, I will give you guys my thoughts on Pride Month, why it's tremendously unbiblical (and annoying), and the importance of (despite the copious amounts of peer pressure) never caving to all of the societal lies just to "keep the peace." Cause a disturbance if you have to. If they get mad that you refuse to accept all of their falsehoods, then LOL. The most unloving thing you can possibly do to people is lie to them and applaud them as they take pride in their sinful behavior. You're cheering them on to Hell. Be honest with people. That's what's actually caring and compassionate.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=paid&utm_campaign=17672311083&utm_content=138532276037&utm_term=the%20brand%20sunday%20bible%20study&gadid=608801073541&gad=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwYv2or-r_wIVEKbICh2ctwtKEAAYASAAEgJNg_D_BwE

Happy Lesbian Visibility Week! We're so happy to be back talking all things compulsory heterosexuality and realising you're a lesbian and we're joined by the most (!) guests we've ever had to hear about their experiences.We start the episode discussing Adrienne Rich's theory of compulsory heterosexuality, the lesbian masterdoc and how it can help you if you're wondering how to know if you're a lesbian, bisexual, pansexual or it's just compulsory heterosexuality. We tell our own experiences unpacking whether we really like men before welcoming Dani, Emily and Cassie to discuss their experiences realising they were into women.They tell us what it was like to come to terms with being gay in their own time, from their first ‘I think I'm a lesbian' to then coming out to friends and family and whether that was a difficult experience or not. They unpack how they feel about their sexuality now, whether people in their lives responded well and how they unlearned compulsory heterosexuality, plus the difficult distinction between being bisexual or suffering from the affliction of compulsory heterosexuality.We also discuss: learning you're lesbian through Orange is the New Black (a surprisingly common experience), not telling your dad you're gay (another common one), how to ‘look' lesbian (if there's really a way), the importance of representation and what they'd tell themselves as baby gays. Thank you so much to Dani, Emily and Cassie for joining us in probably the most chaotic episode to record and edit we've ever done.Apologies to you, our lovely listeners, if the sound is dodgy at times (we tried our best but guess what?! after three years we still don't know how to record!!) but, thanks to our guests, this episode is really an excellent one to listen to if you're at all questioning your sexuality. Have an amazing Lesbian Visibility Week 2023 and we will be back very soon with another episode.As always if you have anything you'd like to share with us or any questions, you can do so on our website, on TikTok, Instagram or Facebook @sextraspodcast or email us at sextraspodcast@gmail.com. If you enjoyed please leave a review/ rating and subscribe and we'll see you very soon with another episode!Original music by Sacha Puttnam Hosted on Acast.

One of our fav episodes to date tbh. The promises include acceptance, stability, and fertility, but the reality = rigidity, conformity, and oftentimes outright shunning. Thinking about heterosexual culture as a "cult" might seem far out at first, but teasing it out with comedian Ashley Gavin, whose hilarious comedy special is viewable April 23 on YouTube, Isa and Amanda unpack sooooo much culty oppression that comes with our society's narrow standards for sexual expression (and also how the insidious "cult" of hetersexuality empowers some of the most f*cked religious cults of all time)!
