Astead Herndon

I don't want to defend the boys, but I'm saying, like, it does sometimes feel like, you know, in straight relationships, we talk about women as perfect daters and perfect friends, and it's only a question of, like, male lack.

And it probably is.

But, you know, is it always?

And so I feel like that's probably another tone that I think comes up.

But it's funny because I read it, you know, when I asked my girlfriend about it, she said just pretty, I was like, well, do you think it's true?

She's like, well, yeah, a little bit.

And so it's so assumed that I think that actually that could also be part of the reaction too.

It's because for boys, you didn't realize just how embarrassing we've been.

You know, you know, it's all good.

I wanted to ask, what do you think we've learned about straight relationships from this episode?

Do you feel like you have come through this thinking like boyfriends are more or less embarrassing?

That's Shantae Joseph.

Coming up, are straight people even okay?

We're going to ask Professor Jane Ward.
