Description

A few weeks ago, British Vogue did the impossible - she broke the internet with long form content. The article was called ‘Is having a boyfriend embarrassing now?’ and everyone had something to say about it. Today we’re unpacking the theme of ‘decentering men’ from a slightly different angle - is it men we should blame, or systems of patriarchy & capitalism (& can it be both?)

Huge thank you to Chanté Joseph for starting this incredible conversation!
