    Text should read “every third American couple”. I dont think this applies anywhere else and has anything to do with sexuality…

        Youre right, it probably applies in other regions, but definitely not everywhere

        This definitely applies to a good number of gay couples in Texas too. Hetero Women do have it worse though. Progressive Southern woman’s options are pretty much:

        A) Be celibate B) Move somewhere else C) Settle for the Most Racist Man Alive

        Hetero Progressive men are unicorns in the American South, and them being progressive is no guarantee they will treat a woman any better. They often come with their own batch of issues and a lot of them are fuckboys.

    Casting aspersions much? The vast majority of couples I know are hetero, and not one person is like either of these caricatures. Let’s not pretend sexual preference has anything to do with these stereotypes. It’s more likely to be the culture or social system you are familiar with.

      Among Gen Z and Millennial Americans (especially the educated straight white middle class) there’s been a divergence in political affiliations between men and women. But people still couple up, so hetero couples are seeing a lot more combinations of politically engaged progressive women who are in relationships with politically apathetic men (who also tend to be somewhat sexist and racist).

      This comic points out that juxtaposition.

      I think the gag is that this person reading Salon, a progressive media outlet, is a person claiming or projecting progressive values yet is dating a bigot. Progressive dating regressive.

    It’s even worse when it’s a mixed race couple!

      That’s statistically more difficult to determine because they might have other preferences towards magazines and t-shirts.
