Dear listeners welcome to a thought-provoking episode of the Counternarrative Podcast, where we delve into the complexities of singlehood and challenge societal norms that often shape our perceptions of fulfillment. Today, we are honoured to host Bella De Paulo, a distinguished author and social scientist whose work has been instrumental in reshaping narratives around the lives of unpartnered individuals. In this captivating episode, we explore the empowering narratives that arise from the uncharted territories of single life, particularly for women. Dr Bella's latest book, "Single at Heart," serves as a guiding light, dismantling stereotypes and celebrating the richness that comes from living authentically, unburdened by conventional expectations. Dr Bella prompts us to question ingrained assumptions about companionship, asking a profound query that becomes a focal point in our exploration: "How could marriage possibly provide insurance against dying alone?" This question unravels a profound truth— that unless both spouses experience their last breaths simultaneously, one will inevitably face the solitary journey into the afterlife. OUTLINE 00:00 - Introduction 01:15 - Dr. DePaulo, you've coined the term "Single At Heart." Could you share with our listeners what it means to be "Single At Heart"? 02:12 - We often witness double standards when it comes to singles - single women being labeled as promiscuous, while single men are often seen as players. In your book 'Single at Heart,' you expressed a deep love for single life and a commitment to remain single. Could you explain what single life offers that a partnership might not? 05:46 - You referenced Dr. Amy Blackstone's book 'Childfree by Choice,' highlighting that those without children engage in "social reproduction" by helping others become contributing members of society. Does this suggest that single individuals, particularly women, are more likely to contribute to their communities than husbands and fathers? 10:35 - In 'Singled Out,' you debunked numerous myths about single life, including the belief that single people are miserable or lonely. As a society, how can we challenge and change these negative perceptions? 15:45 - Society often equates completeness with being part of a marital unit.

In 2020, a staggering 47,000 women and girls lost their lives to domestic violence. Shockingly, this statistic translates to a tragic reality: a woman or girl is killed by a family member every 11 minutes. This episode of Counternarrative features Titilola Vivour-Adeniyi, a strong advocate who believes that every instance of domestic violence carries the potential for something even more tragic—murder. She passionately illustrates how gender-based violence (GBV) is deeply entwined with gender inequality, highlighting patriarchy as one of the chief instigators of this crisis. Vivour-Adeniyi advocates for transformation through education, emphasizing the urgent need to educate boys in positive masculinity and to reorient young girls. Her goal is to dismantle the pervasive rape culture that perpetuates these atrocities. This compelling episode exposes the crucial efforts of The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency as they work diligently to curb the rates of GBV.

Can you tell us more about the various forms of abuse that perpetrators use to maintain control without leaving physical evidence? 11:34 - Dr Katz, when abuse happens, society often blames the victim, scrutinising their behaviours and choices. Why do you think this victim-blaming mentality persists, and can you shed light on why abuse occurs in the first place? 13:12 - Given the prevalence of abuse, how can we effectively combat it and better protect women and children from becoming victims or survivors? 21:08 - Before we wrap up, could you share a word of encouragement or positivity for women and children currently facing abuse but unable to leave? 25:20 - Co-Host Discussion and sign out Follow on Instagram @TheCounterNarrativePodcast and Twitter(X) @TheCN_Podcast…
