I wouldn't call this response a good idea, but I think it's unfair to say that designating one space as "safe" is an implicit declaration that the rest of the convention is "unsafe."

The problem arises when a certain contingent uses evolutionary biology to claim that male promiscuity is "natural" but insists that women are hard-wired to be monogamous. If that were the case, we wouldn't have thousands of years of human culture using various methods of force and punishment to keep women chaste. If…

Maybe you misunderstood the argument, because feminists have been defending womens' right to own their sexuality for quite some time. It is the double standard that society imposed (men: following biological imperative seeking many partners. women: multiple partners = filthy sluts unfit to raise their children!) which…

Is there a place on the internet for objective discussion? I see what you're saying , but, the purpose of Jez is to have a space where the slant goes in this direction. If you want slant the other way, go almost every where else. as for objectivity onthe internet, please, tell me where.

I'd love to go out with one of those DC Comics fellas. They sound like real dolls.

You're very mistaken if you think all women have had access to all the sex they've ever wanted since adolescence. No one, and I mean no one, gets ever sexual partner they've ever wanted. Even the beautiful, the wealthy, and the charming.

Your entire premise sits on a flawed platform: it seems to presuppose that these men are being mocked for wanting sex/love and being sad because they're not getting it.

Men who complain about the "friendzone" don't know what friendship is. For the record, friendship is when you care about another person's well-being. The end. And the only thing your friend owes you is to care about your well-being in return.

"Ally Fogg and others suggest that it's "immoral" to make fun of young men whose greatest crime seems to be that they're stuck at the sad intersection of Not Hot and Dimwit."
