Pearl, you sound absolutely unreachable, but I'm going to give this a shot anyway for posterity's sake.

You don't think misandry is real? LOL, like seriously? The hatred of men? You think there aren't lots and lots of women who have a fundamental hatred of men? Wow, I can't believe I wasted valuable time on someone THAT out of touch with reality. My knee jerk reaction is to tell you to turn off Fox News, because usually…

That's all lovely, except you completely ignored this woman's actual comments, which were in essence, "from this day forward I am demanding any man I am with to go down on me, but I refuse to reciprocate". Ironic too, considering she apparently came to this decision after admittedly being with assholes who did the…

She's not "implying", she's stating you'll give but never receive, deal with it.

This the same significant other that demands I go down on her?

Well I'm open to that being true. I'm 40 so I grew up in a time where gay men were openly mocked, the butt of jokes and even hated, and that includes on the playgrounds I grew up on. I've been so progressive for my whole adult life I guess I just didn't consider that as possible.

Geesh, must be pretty sad out there if I get a pat on the back for that!

Maybe you're right, but why wouldn't we just assume that as a straight man I'm genetically wired to be attracted to women only? What reason would there be for nature to implant a sexual attraction to men in me - nature's only goal is for me to procreate, right?

I'm hoping you understand I was accusing you of those things, meaning the same thing (only reversed) of what you accuse men of and that was just sarcasm.

Maybe revolting was too strong a word? No, I don't get "ill", but it's a gross thought for me without a doubt. Please don't say that makes me homophobic or something, because I'm the furthest thing from that. But men turn me off completely, so the thought of being with one isn't pleasant.

I can only speak of my own experiences and people I know, but I feel like most guys I know go down on their wives often, but don't always get a get a blow job in return, sometimes far less in return. There's a reason why trying to get blow jobs once you're married is always joked about. I can tell you I go down on my…

All people are not bi-sexual. I am as gay-friendly as it gets, but for me personally, the thought of kissing a man (let alone doing anything else) is literally revolting. I imagine I'm genetically hard wired that way, whereas gay and bi-men are not.

Totally, I can't even imagine it. I hear a lot of women saying it's common, but I seriously wonder is that's a generational thing. I'm 40 and eating pussy has always been universally hailed by all the guys I've known. Maybe the younger douchebags are selfish pricks, wouldn't surprise me one bit.

I was joking, my wife and I have great sex, when we can (we have 2 small kids). That being said, it's AMAZING how so many women here, like yourself, are so egregiously guilty of all the things you accuse men of - misandry, sexist attacks, etc

No, you misunderstood or I wasn't clear. I brought up "buying dinners and valentines day extravaganzas" and so on because those are just some traditional things guys have done for women that they don't necessarily like to do, but they do it because they know it makes them happy. The reply was SPECIFICALLY in response…

again, is she free to look for and engage is such relationships? Sure. And I'm free to think she sounds like a selfish raging bitch.

LOL, you really need to make me out to be a misogynist don't you. It's either get in line or you hate women.

I'm married....I take any sex I can get. :)

I would have said the same thing about Gawker. I assumed Gawker has the same general make up and mob-mentality

Is Jezebel a hard core feminist site? I honestly didn't know if it is. I was on Gawker and the article brought me here.
