The Tragedy of Heterosexuality

Jane Ward's The Tragedy of Heterosexuality investigates the challenges facing heterosexual relationships in the modern era, particularly in the context of #MeToo and ongoing societal issues. She analyzes how straight women and men are attempting to navigate a system rooted in traditional gender roles and inequality, while critically examining the billion-dollar self-help industry. The book offers insights into how straight people might rethink desire, respect, and fulfillment, drawing inspiration from queer culture to envision healthier and more authentic connections.
