The post-sex generation

Hogging seats on a crowded train, not saying excuse me, watching videos on your phone with no headphones in. Sometimes it feels like we don't know how to act anymore. What we have been seeing, increasingly, is people breaking rules. Why should I play by the rules if nobody else is going to do that for me? This week on Explain It to Me, how to mind your manners.
New episodes Sundays wherever you get your podcasts. This is the gray area. I am Sean Illing. My guest today is Christine Emba. She's a writer and a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.
Christine writes about sex, dating, loneliness, gender. religion, social norms, basically all of the anxieties of modern life, or at least most of the moral anxieties of modern life. But really this is a much broader conversation about why Gen Z is retreating from dating and relationships altogether and how the internet is supercharging all of those trends. Hope you enjoy it. Christine Ember.
