Is the modern landscape of Western romance liberating for women, or have we simply traded historical constraints for a highly marketable, psychologically exhausting illusion?
In this episode of Shrinking the World, Consultant Psychiatrist Dr. Raj Persaud welcomes acclaimed Daily Telegraph columnist Zoe Strimpel to the clinic to dissect the fiery, counter-intuitive thesis of her new book, Good Slut: How Money, Sex and Power Set Women Free.
Zoe argues a bold, controversial truth that angers both the left and the right wing: it has never been a better time in human history to be a woman in the West. Yet, as women smash records in economic freedom, academic grades, and career power, our romantic systems have completely collapsed. Together, Dr. Raj and Zoe perform a clinical audit on this \"Freedom Paradox,\" breaking down why female promiscuity is constantly pathologised, how swipe mechanics and digital culture completely killed the art of seduction, and why the multi-billion dollar wedding industry operates as a marketing con to sell commercial trappings over deep relationship compatibility.
