Solo & Sovereign #8 - The Double Standard of Desire

Why are women so often judged by impossible standards of beauty, youth, and desirability — while men are rarely held to those same expectations?

In this episode, we unpack the double standards surrounding attraction, aging, body image, and the pressure placed on women to remain “desirable” at all times. We explore why women are pushing back against outdated expectations and proclaiming they have standards, preferences and yes, size matters AND why the rules of attraction are changing.

Join the conversation, share your thoughts, and tell us your story.
