Reports of sexual harassment, misconduct, and rape saturate the news in the era of #MeToo. Straight men and women spend thousands of dollars every day on relationship coaches, seduction boot camps, and couple’s therapy in a search for happiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Tragedy of Heterosexuality\u003c\/em\u003e, Jane Ward smartly explores what, exactly, is wrong with heterosexuality in the twenty-first century, and what straight people can do to fix it for good. She shows how straight women, and to a lesser extent straight men, have tried to mend a fraught patriarchal system in which intimacy, sexual fulfillment, and mutual respect are expected to coexist alongside enduring forms of inequality, alienation, and violence in straight relationships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWard also takes an intriguing look at the multi-billion-dollar self-help industry, which markets goods and services to help heterosexual couples without addressing the root of their problems. Ultimately, she encourages straight men and women to take a page out of queer culture, reminding them “about the human capacity to desire, fuck, and show respect at the same time.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Featherheart Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54366777508064,"sku":"9781479804467","price":3960.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0772\/4987\/2096\/files\/9781479804467.jpg?v=1787376072","url":"https:\/\/featherheartbooks.com\/products\/the-tragedy-of-heterosexuality-sexual-cultures","provider":"Featherheart Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
