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 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 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 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 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 for season two of the podcast Modern Rules from MSNBC NBC Think and I Heart Radio, because while the game of life may be the same, the rules of cha anged, we all have a hand in rewriting them.
