Dating and politics: We speak to women about how their politics is playing a bigger role in their dating lives than ever before.
Shortly after moving to Liverpool, 26-year-old Sally Galula went on a date with a man she’d met on Hinge. She was feeling quite optimistic about it – until she arrived. “Before I even had the chance to sit down, he said he’d seen my Instagram story,” Galula tells GLAMOUR. She had posted a picture of the book she was reading: Heart of Race: Black Women’s Lives in Britain, a seminal account of the lives of Black women living in 20th century Britain. Galula’s date was unimpressed.
' “Political polarisation and especially given the rise of right-wing reactionary discourses waging a ‘war on woke’ – so, on women, LGBT people, racial minorities, feminists, and so on – has made this long-standing practice of screening a date’s politics more conscious and explicit,” Dr Hannell explains.
