I see what you're saying, and I respectfully disagree with the sentiment that Hilary shouldn't be the first female president. I think she has the experience and has held other positions in government long enough to not ONLY associate her as being first lady.

Oh my Lord I can only imagine the stupidity you encounter.

Agreed. What does it matter if you all are happy in your relationships/lives?

Hahaha! Are you implying that you DIDN'T expect your dates to put out because you were paying? (sarcasm clearly)

I would agree with this conjecture. I would also like to add "aware of the inherent inequality in their" to "insecure about their".

I enjoy BDSM myself, and I'm happy to have read both of your comments. Sometimes I feel guilty, or like a bad feminist for some fetishes I have. Your perspectives make me realize that this is not the case. :)

I love that there are NO comments on that article (as of Jan. 13). I am happy that the article was written with just the facts, and there is no room for trolls to victim blame. And, at the very least, justice will be served in this case. I can't believe something that violent would happen, it's...inhumane.

At least she's writing bass ackwards advice for both sexes (sexes here meaning the ones that are acknowledged on applications for employment, loans, and other legal documents).

You I know I probably should read it so I can write my thesis on why it's wrong.

I'd like to know where you got that 90% figure. Also, "hetero-normative" isn't being used in a way to describe most of the population. The author is using this term to point out that Venker is assuming that male-female relationships are "normal" and anything else is abnormal. So, uh, read much?

I've noticed, at least with my parents and grandparents, that this is how some adults are raised to have relationships. I'd probably be on the same lines as this crazy bitch if I hadn't taken a Womens Gender and Sexuality Studies course where I go to school.

I'm dying too! My biggest issue with people who spew this type of shit just make me ask myself, in a country that values PERSONAL LIBERTIES so much, why does it matter to you what other people do?

Marry me!

You see women as equal, (even thought the rest of your comment is problematic to say the least, I'll give you benefit of the doubt that you truly believe that) cool. The problem is, not everyone else thinks women are or should be equal. There are serious under-representations of women in government, careers in math…

The mere fact you are calling a type of sexuality slutty tells me you're not ready.

I think you touched on the main issue here: they were BOTH assholes.

Agreed. Side note, why the hell would you take anything on FB seriously?!?!

Isn't that the truth. I'm rather conflicted on the whole topic though. Like, I want people to be able to practice whatever religion they want, but if it means they are killing women for literally NO reason...I'm more inclined to condemn that practice.

You can still have a discussion with her. You're just avoiding it.

I'm saying this because I think you are genuinely trying to formulate an opinion on sexism in general.
