Emily Ratajkowski, the model and actress known for her stunning beauty, is opening up about the challenges she faces in navigating her public image and relationships in a male-dominated industry. In her 2021 book “My Body,” she reflects on the struggle to control her image while building a career based on her looks.
Recently, Ratajkowski shared that since her divorce a few years ago, she has been contemplating gender dynamics and the type of agency she wants in her dating life. She finds herself relating to Susan Forray, a successful and self-sufficient woman who is also dating after divorce. Forray is surprised to find herself falling for a man with traditional views on relationships, such as paying for dinner, handling finances, and initiating sex.
As a single mom who is used to handling everything on her own, Ratajkowski understands the desire to be cared for and supported, without conforming to sexist stereotypes. She believes that women can still be independent and strong while also enjoying being taken care of once in a while.
Ratajkowski’s reflections on gender dynamics and relationships shed light on the complexities that many women face in today’s society. It’s a reminder that even the most beautiful and successful women struggle with finding balance and agency in their personal and professional lives.
