"I didn't expect anything from her. Hugging and kissing doesn't mean I wanted to f–k her."

To me, her abhorrent personality is exactly what makes her so unattractive.

You're correct, the statement is about empowering Willow to consent to only things she wants to do and not be coerced into things she is not comfortable with, and there's nothing wrong with the core concept of that notion. It gets problematic with the examples she gives. Rape is not often a "yes" or "no" scenario. You…

You've really touched on some excellent points here. I was leaning toward her statement being more innocent but you've done a good job of pointing out why it's problematic. Thanks for posting, I like reading stuff like this and gaining insight into complex issues.

Also a good point.

"how did the idea that feminism was somehow "dangerous" gain any traction?"

Nevermind, after actually looking through that website there's clearly no rationalizing with those people.

Why not use these examples to try and start a dialogue? I feel like this article is so saturated in snark (and believe me, I get why) that it wouldn't be useful to anyone who doesn't understand what feminism is. I guess I feel like this sort of article is preaching to the choir, when there are clearly a lot of women…

I was simply pointing out that there is a big difference between what you've described and posting content on Facebook/Twitter. It's not an apples-to-apples comparison by any means. Facebook isn't exploiting contributors, B/R is.

"I post junk on WordPress and Facebook and Twitter. None of them pay me."

Part of the problem seems to be that they essentially prepaid people's salaries instead of just paying them for the work completed. Who gives someone $35,000 upfront without any guarantee of the work being completed?

I wonder, "What is the end game here?" Do they think that I'm going to turn around and say, "Thank you, good sir, I'm deeply touched; I, too, find myself delicious on this crisp summer morning" or chase after their car waving my phone number at them?

^ THIS.

To me, it's something you're doing together, as a couple, and it's a decision that should be made together as a couple.

"First, she says, her younger brother asked how Chris felt being emasculated."

Her younger brother sounds like a great guy.

Thank you for posting this. I've never understood what "continuing my legacy" even means, but I definitely know that it's a terrible reason to have children.

I agree. Her comments alone reveal a total lack of common sense.

"Why is he putting me through this? What the hell am I supposed to do?"

I agree, the low success rate implies his approach is not working with her. I also think he's trying to initiate too often. Nearly every single day? However, I think their marriage would be better served by her having a frank discussion with him about his approach and letting him know what she wants rather than her…

Seems they are both really poor at communication. Husband is obviously a prick for sending this spreadsheet, wife could communicate her feelings to him like an adult instead of posting this online.

Good question, this is something I've never understood either.
