As soon as I saw the first TikTok video discussing the article, I knew I had to read it. As a 20-year-old girl in her final year of university who has never had a boyfriend, this was right up my street; finally, a piece of journalism I felt uniquely qualified to have an opinion on. Personally, I\u2019ve never wanted a relationship, and I cannot stress the number of times I have had to justify this decision to people when they ask why.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>Immediately after reading the article, I loved it. It managed to sum up everything I feel in one amazing piece of journalistic expression. I thought it was pretty clear that the article wasn\u2019t mocking relationships and love, nor did it ever actually claim that having a boyfriend is embarrassing; it simply stated that the times of women dulling down their personalities, or centring their lives around men, are gone. It was about rejecting the outdated idea that having a boyfriend and being in a relationship is the pinnacle of womanhood. Within the entire article, the only thing that <em>Vogue<\/em> claimed was embarrassing was losing oneself in a relationship \u2013 and I think that\u2019s a pretty good opinion.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>The article began flooding my For You Page; every video was discussing whether it is embarrassing to have a boyfriend. But, as I looked further, it became obvious that people were completely missing the point. The internet collectively decided that the article was an attack on relationships themselves. I saw tons of women posting videos of their boyfriends as a dig to show they\u2019re not embarrassed, with some captioned \u2018<em>Vogue is wrong, my bf is not embarrassing<\/em>\u2019.<\/p>\n\n<p>Every single take on the video had one thing in common: none of them referenced anything from the actual article. Instead, they took one look at the headline and ran with it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>What Chante Joseph, author of the article, had produced was a nuanced reflection on how women are shifting from the \u2018boyfriend-ified\u2019 versions of themselves, towards a more self-defined way of living. It was a piece about autonomy, not antagonism.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>The longer I scrolled, the more surreal it felt. How could so many people confidently critique something they evidently hadn\u2019t even read? How did a playful headline become a cultural crisis? And when did actually reading the article become an optional extra?<\/p>\n\n<p>The truth is painfully simple: this is a media literacy failure.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>On TikTok, the headline floated around detached from its subheading, its introduction, its tone, even its punctuation. Out of context, it was no longer an editorial wink but a supposedly serious statement.\u00a0People were reacting to the\u00a0<em>idea<\/em>\u00a0of the article, rather than the article itself.<\/p>\n\n<p>It appears we\u2019ve slipped into a cultural moment where headlines now function as whole arguments, and opinions are formed long before information is gathered. It\u2019s almost impressive, in a depressing way: thousands of people so confidently critiquing a piece they never bothered to click on. It also points to a wider issue: when we react to information we see on the algorithm, without even considering the full context, we lose the ability to have meaningful conversations about the world we live in.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p><em>Vogue<\/em> didn\u2019t declare boyfriends embarrassing. The internet did.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>Misunderstanding an entire article because you only bothered to glance at the headline is far more embarrassing than having a boyfriend will ever be.<\/p>\n\n<p><em>Photo by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@freestocks?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">freestocks<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/heart-bokeh-light-Y9mWkERHYCU?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few weeks ago, Vogue published an article with a headline that sent the internet into a spiral: \u201cIs Having [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":711,"featured_media":36771,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[3,3054,557,50,567,7611,96,1206,1870,19,5753,716],"class_list":["post-36770","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-columnist","tag-cardiff","tag-cardiff-student-media","tag-cardiff-university","tag-culture-2","tag-love","tag-media-literacy","tag-quench","tag-quench-magazine","tag-relationships","tag-review","tag-tiktok","tag-vogue"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>We Need to Learn How to Read Again (Starting With That Vogue Article) - Quench<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"We\u2019re losing our ability to read deeply.
