I think it comes down to negotiation, like a lot of things in a relationship. Demanding sex every night is selfish. Restricting sex to once every six weeks is selfish too. I think a lot ofpeople with lower sex drives do not realize the emotional toll constant rejection takes; and I say this as a guy who has usually…

Divorce or open marriage.

The problem is when one partner wants it and the other doesn't. I don't think anyone is arguing that if people don't maintain the frequency of sex throughout the marriage theres something wrong, but there is if one partner is going months or years between grudging sexual encounters. Its not fair to the partner who…

That is pretty much a myth:

The ones that get to choose what constitutes "enough" sex is not the man, its the one with the lower sex drive, which may or may not be the man.

Yes, of course, I was criticizing the lack of nuance in the claim that "they" are just trying to panic women or that people know their own bodies better than scientists or doctors. You definitely should eat fish if you're pregnant, but tuna isn't the best choice, and different agenciesput different limits on what is…

There are other wealthy places on earth where celebrity is just as obsessed over. Look at Western Europe, Japan, Hong Kong, or even India.

They are definitely taking this case seriously, it seems.

North Americans are not any more obsessed than any other group.

Yes those pesky obstetricians, daring to tell pregnant women what they should do...

If something happens to the woman because of the tweet, he could be criminally liable.

Based on my experience in a variety of different workplaces, I just haven't seen that kind of double standard. The kind of behavior that is considered unpleasant in women is also considered unpleasant in men.

No, no, no, can we please retire the old canard that when men in the workplace are assholes they're praised as assertive but women are called bitches. I have never in my life heard someone praise a male for being an asshole in the workplace.

Exactly. And its fair to get annoyed that high school kids are doing a little work on multi-year, multi-researcher research projects and getting all the credit in the media. Annoyed at the media, I mean, not the 18-year old.

I probably am in the target demographic and you're right, it looks ridiculous.

When I first heard this story I was ready to jump on the school-administrators-are-dumb bandwagon, then I watched the video and decided the punishment (which isnt that bad) was appropriate. Its creepy as hell, as well as being kind of depressing. I am usually skeptical when I hear claims about objectification but…

Maybe its a generational thing, when I was in high school (early 90s) the girls wouldnt have been caught dead doing that.

The legal profession will eventually be female-dominated, and most of the harassers will age out of the system.

Exactly. Don't persecute Chris Brown for his free expression. Persecute him for all theother stuff.

The same ASA said she wasn't going to prosecute a white male 13 year old for killing his brother with a bb gun because it was an accident.
