#149 | How “Patriarchy” Is a Lazy Answer to Women’s Sexual Disconnection

How"Patriarchy" Is a Lazy Answer to Women's Sexual Disconnection
Anya Shakh

About This Episode

I came across an essay that blames “the patriarchy” for the sexual disconnection that married women feel towards their husbands. This is a critique offering a nuanced take at some of the causes for disconnection that include attachment wounds, hormonal birth control, communication failures, gaps in self-knowledge, disdain for men, fear and shame, and more.
