Subscribe now to SRF Kultur Sternstunden on YouTube ???? https://www.youtube.com/srfkulturster... A third of all Swiss women live alone, and the trend is rising. A fairly large minority that has to fight prejudices; especially single women. Despite all the progress, many still believe in the ideal of the classic couple relationship. It is defined as the norm and therefore puts pressure on everyone who does not conform to it. Even those who feel comfortable as singles and want nothing else. There is even talk of "singlism" and "single shaming", the stereotyping and discrimination of people without partners. Katja Kullmann and Daniel Schreiber defend their way of life - despite all the pain that being alone can bring. Philosophers in particular have repeatedly lived consciously alone and found their way to their thoughts, far away from distraction and social constraints. On the other hand, being alone can also slide into loneliness, especially in old age or illness. Loneliness is also referred to as an epidemic. Barbara Bleisch and her guests get to the bottom of this way of life.
