<p>Ever since British Vogue asked the rather incendiary question, “is having a boyfriend embarrassing?” the internet has been up in arms. With an astonishing number of people who have “yes” on their lips and a sharpened pitchfork for anyone who thinks otherwise, we thought it would be best to sit down with our dear friend Sara Harvey and take a close look at the article. Is this 800 word piece really the 4B rallying cry the internet seems to think it is, or is it just another agent of the normie gender war that has overtaken contemporary feminist discourse?

[SPEAKER_02]: Um, it seems to me that it's about the certain online trends that will make a break and influencers following count. [SPEAKER_02]: It feels very, yeah, like that's just what it seems like to me. [SPEAKER_02]: It's almost like when you know that a movie star or like a K-pop star doesn't have a boyfriend or they're not allowed to date because that's about to be, that's what the article is about to me.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, this isn't about real people. [SPEAKER_01]: On the same note, I was making me think I recently watched this Simpsons episode where it's sort of a parody of the Beatles, Homer enters a barbershop quartet and they become famous and he has to tell Marge that he has to pretend that she has to sort of hide her existence because he has to remain single and dateable, obviously parodying the fact that that's actually what happened to the Beatles real life wives and I'm like people have been doing this forever.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was just watching in the rain. [SPEAKER_01]: It's like, you know, people have been sort of like hiding their relationships forever. [SPEAKER_01]: It's always been a branding thing. [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think it's necessarily gendered. [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't agree that I don't think it's necessarily gendered.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's pedaling like a pretty capitalist logic. [SPEAKER_00]: It has a quote that says outright that boyfriends are out of style. [SPEAKER_00]: And it just feels like... [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, the kind of like render human beings obsolete because they are performing to certain standards of what's on trend, like what'll work for my image.
[SPEAKER_00]: And to me, it just really also ties back to this conversation, Hannah and I had in our AI boyfriends episode. [SPEAKER_00]: In some ways I agree, but it also just feels like this kind of hetero pessimist opt-out argument just fuels that whole concept of self-optimization, having a boyfriend and sub sort of like blip in the process to making as much money as possible, being your most optimized self for social media.
[SPEAKER_00]: know where in this article she does she talk about like turning to friends or family or kinship. [SPEAKER_00]: She really barely discusses that all she talks really about is how it'll strengthen our personal brands. [SPEAKER_01]: It also treats it like it's really easy to just get a boyfriend if you bought one for the brand and then it's like I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_01]: That takes work sometimes. [SPEAKER_01]: That's not as not that easy. [SPEAKER_02]: Not that easy. [SPEAKER_02]: Like where are you getting all these boys from? [SPEAKER_01]: I'm sorry. [UNKNOWN]: You
