Speaker 1: Times were complicated a year ago, then a global pandemic
Speaker 1: upended our daily lives, and COVID nineteen exposed some of
Speaker 1: the most fragile parts of our system to new pressures.
Speaker 1: In any normal time, a crisis of pandemic would bring
Speaker 1: us together, and somehow it hasn't. I'm Stephanie Rule, MSNBC
Speaker 1: anchor and NBC News Senior business correspondent and host of
Speaker 1: the podcast Modern Rules from NBC Think and I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: The second season of Modern Rules is partnering with NBC's
Speaker 1: opinion and analysis sit Think to bring you compelling conversations
Speaker 1: with thought provoking writers so we can try to make
Speaker 1: sense of this chaos in this upside down world we're
Speaker 1: all in today. From sex and dating during COVID, did
Speaker 1: you know people are having less sex? And so what
Speaker 1: I see coming is when the quarantine stops. However this ends,
Speaker 1: that next phase will be a really exciting beginning for
Speaker 1: UH sex and relationship ships. I think it's going to
Speaker 1: lead to an actual like a post COVID sexual revolution,
Speaker 1: to the stark reality that the gender gap is a
Speaker 1: lot wider than we thought. And now during COVID, while
Speaker 1: we are working and managing even more of the child
Speaker 1: care and responsibilities. Dads are three times more likely to
Speaker 1: actually get promoted during this time than we are. And
Speaker 1: the true ramifications of misinformation, So anything from kind of
Speaker 1: theirs I tends to spread faster and to percolate, so
Speaker 1: it spreads really quickly, and it's really hard once something
Speaker 1: is out there to pull it back. The problems we
Speaker 1: are facing aren't new. These issues aren't going to be
Speaker 1: undone by a new presidential term, a new year, or
Speaker 1: even a new vaccine. We've been pushed in ways that
Speaker 1: could have lasting implications. And in the end, we've got
Speaker 1: one goal to get a little smarter, and I'd like
Speaker 1: to think we all want that. Join me Stephanie Rule
