Letters on The Modern Dating Economy

The main reading is a series of LETTERS SENT BETWEEN THE WRITERS LOUISE PERRY AND JAMES BLOODWORTH. The LETTERS DISCUSS GENERALLY VARIOUS ASPECTS OF MODERN DATING AND TREK THROUGH FEMINISM, economic changes, and capitalism s relationship to DATING.(P.S. For the audio learners: I ll try to find some podcasts where one or the two authors discuss similar ideas.) There are some questions that extend from the main reading, but we don t need to stick to these questions during the discussion. Possible Questions - Are sexual mores "worse" than they were decades ago? - Did the sexual revolution at last allow women to act as "entirely self-interested agents in the sexual marketplace" in the ways men supposedly always have been acting? - Is non-platonic intimacy a psychological or emotional need for people? - Does one gender have more privilege or power in the heterosexual marketplace than the other? Is this even the right question to ask? Reading - https://letter.wiki/conversation/789 [https://letter.wiki/conversation/789]
