Episode Episode 593 - There's Nothing Wrong With Wanting Men (w/ Magdalene J. Taylor)
Senior editor at Playboy, Magdalene J. Taylor, returns to Bad Faith to discuss her viral (and somewhat infamous) New York Times essay, "There's Nothing Wrong With Wanting Men." Responding to a trend toward "hetero-pessimism," or a cynical feeling that heterosexual relationships are beyond repair due largely to something 'wrong' with men, she offers a counter argument: There's never been a better time to be straight. Reasonable minds can disagree. You can read her opinion piece here: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/31/opinion/heteropessimism-straight-dating-love.html
