32 分钟Emily Ratajkowski is doing a balancing act many famously beautiful women have to perform. In her 2021 book “My Body,” she reflects on what it’s been like to build a career based on her public image, and her struggle to control that image in an industry largely run by men. Since getting divorced a few years ago, she’s been thinking a lot about gender dynamics and the type of agency she wants to have in dating, too. Today, Ratajkowski reads “Why I Fell for an ‘I’m the Man’ Man,” by Susan Forray. Forray is also a successful, self-sufficient woman, dating after divorce. She’s surprised to find herself falling for a man with old-fashioned ideas about who does what in a relationship. (He pays for dinner, handles the finances and initiates sex). As a single mom who handles everything, Ratajkowski says, she can relate to the desire to be cared for once in a while. And that doesn’t have to mean playing into a sexist stereotype.

I was at a new friend's apartment not too long ago where I told her that I haven't spoken to my father in almost four years.
She turned to me and said, I feel so sorry for him.
I froze, naturally, because people normally say that they feel sorry for me when I bring up my dad.
Then she said, he's missing out on how special you are.
With love from Cartier.

Today I'm talking to model, actress, writer, entrepreneur, and busy toddler mom, Emily Ratakowski.
Hello.
How are you?
I'm great.
Where are you?
I'm in New York in my kids.
Playroom, sitting on a toe bay.
Okay.
Okay, I see.
I mean, at least it's a stuffed animal, not a Lego.
Those things are notoriously painful.
Is your kid a Lego kid?
