1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Times were complicated a year ago, then a global pandemic

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: upended our daily lives, and COVID nineteen exposed some of

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: the most fragile parts of our system to new pressures.

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: In any normal time, a crisis of pandemic would bring

5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: us together, and somehow it hasn't. I'm Stephanie Rule, MSNBC

6
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: anchor and NBC News Senior business correspondent and host of

7
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: the podcast Modern Rules from NBC Think and I Heart Radio.

8
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: The second season of Modern Rules is partnering with NBC's

9
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: opinion and analysis sit Think to bring you compelling conversations

10
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 1: with thought provoking writers so we can try to make

11
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: sense of this chaos in this upside down world we're

12
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 1: all in today. From sex and dating during COVID, did

13
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: you know people are having less sex? And so what

14
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: I see coming is when the quarantine stops. However this ends,

15
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: that next phase will be a really exciting beginning for

16
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: UH sex and relationship ships. I think it's going to

17
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: lead to an actual like a post COVID sexual revolution,

18
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: to the stark reality that the gender gap is a

19
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: lot wider than we thought. And now during COVID, while

20
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: we are working and managing even more of the child

21
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: care and responsibilities. Dads are three times more likely to

22
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: actually get promoted during this time than we are. And

23
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: the true ramifications of misinformation, So anything from kind of

24
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: theirs I tends to spread faster and to percolate, so

25
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: it spreads really quickly, and it's really hard once something

26
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: is out there to pull it back. The problems we

27
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: are facing aren't new. These issues aren't going to be

28
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: undone by a new presidential term, a new year, or

29
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: even a new vaccine. We've been pushed in ways that

30
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: could have lasting implications. And in the end, we've got

31
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: one goal to get a little smarter, and I'd like

32
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: to think we all want that. Join me Stephanie Rule
