Heterofatalism: WHY straight women aren't okay.

In this video essay, I dig into Asa Seresin's theory of 'Heterofatalism' in his essay 'On Heteropessimism'. 

2024 NOTE: I refer to Asa by his name that credited with the article at the time, so I unfortunately use his deadname in this video.

In short: it's the idea that straight women are tired of heterosexual relationships and feel that they are eternally doomed. Seresin calls this an "anesthesia" to soothe the inequalities that still persist in relationships between men and women.

I also discuss how "straight culture" impacts heterosexual relationships and try to work out a) what it is and b) if it even exists.

Strap in, it's going to be a wild ride!
