Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Times were complicated a year ago, then a global pandemic
upended our daily lives, and COVID nineteen exposed some of
the most fragile parts of our system to new pressures.
In any normal time, a crisis of pandemic would bring
us together, and somehow it hasn't. I'm Stephanie Rule, MSNBC

(00:23):
anchor and NBC News Senior business correspondent and host of
the podcast Modern Rules from NBC Think and I Heart Radio.
The second season of Modern Rules is partnering with NBC's
opinion and analysis sit Think to bring you compelling conversations
with thought provoking writers so we can try to make
sense of this chaos in this upside down world we're

(00:44):
all in today. From sex and dating during COVID, did
you know people are having less sex? And so what
I see coming is when the quarantine stops. However this ends,
that next phase will be a really exciting beginning for
UH sex and relationship ships. I think it's going to
lead to an actual like a post COVID sexual revolution,
to the stark reality that the gender gap is a

(01:06):
lot wider than we thought. And now during COVID, while
we are working and managing even more of the child
care and responsibilities. Dads are three times more likely to
actually get promoted during this time than we are. And
the true ramifications of misinformation, So anything from kind of
theirs I tends to spread faster and to percolate, so
it spreads really quickly, and it's really hard once something

(01:28):
is out there to pull it back. The problems we
are facing aren't new. These issues aren't going to be
undone by a new presidential term, a new year, or
even a new vaccine. We've been pushed in ways that
could have lasting implications. And in the end, we've got
one goal to get a little smarter, and I'd like
to think we all want that. Join me Stephanie Rule

of life may be the same, the rules of cha anged,
