Are You Not Captivated?

D.L. chats with Jenna DeWitt about Captivating, the highly-influential prescriptive romance guide for young Christian women in the early 2000s.

We tackle the harmful biases around gender roles and romance from an asexual and aromantic perspective.

Jenna DeWitt (follow her on Twitter!) is an editor and queer activist, focusing on educating people and providing resources on asexual and aromantic identities. Check out her blog for more info!

Also, as mentioned in the episode, here is the Spotify playlist curated by Jenna, Rainbow Faith.
