You're saying that media has no influence on us. That's almost certainly not true. Plus, this isn't about a "boogeyman" (nice straw MAN), but about how a large portion of young women and girls are driven to seek validation from outside sources about their external appearance and the article in question said, "Hey! …

I believe many—though not all—women who claim sex is just as good without an orgasm, and it's not the most important thing, yada yada yada, have had to convince themselves of this because the alternative is so disappointing and frustrating and the implications about women's sexual equality (or lack thereof) are…

It would be nice to have an orgasm one time.

Oh please. Female actors can't even get their foot in the door if they aren't above average attractiveness. This guy can gain weight, go bald and get old and likely still have a career. Women cannot say the same. This guy is experiencing what female actors endure on the regular. Boo-hoo. Count your blessings Claflin!

The problem is Finnick is described as being very hot and Claflin is just default level attractive. Hollywood has no trouble finding "hot" women to act but they can't throw women a bone and cast an actual swoonworthy, panty-dropping dude for a character that's supposed to be insanely hot?

Oh yes, they're just heroic defenders of Free Thought and Free Action and conceded about a potential runaway totalitarianism. They're deeeefinitely not just trying to justify creepy behavior and desires.

So it's difficult to draw many conclusions about how early human women might have behaved 50,000 years ago based on how they behave today.

I agree. Now she needs to start purchasing masturbation lubricants such as Inches magazine and movies such as My Big Dick Latin Lover. Scatter those liberally around the house. THEN she should start to comment on guys packages while walking down the street with her BF. Asking aloud "I bet he has a nice juicy uncut…

Ugh. if that is really why guys do it then we should dump them after all. fucking finally see a smidge of an article on the same issue I struggle with and find that the answers are still a toss up between: your boyfriend is a selfish, womanizing asshole or your boyfriend just isn't happy with you. cool.

Yes but the 'level of relaxation' is magically constantly reset at a level slightly beyond whatever the particular woman can stand.

It's "I'm not the one who minds when it gets messy!" taken to the next level.

Nope, you're totally correct. You should call Cornell and give them a solid talking to.
As for me, I shall never again cite an interesting study without first fully studying the full text and also assuming that the authors pretty much just made up their findings before publishing bc they hate men. I've seen the error…

"After not reading the study or putting much thought into it, I'm willing to bet they didn't even CONSIDER the things that I, a random person on the internet, thinks could apply! Therefore, science is bad or something!"

Yes. So so many comments that say, "that's not what I'm looking for in marriage!", completely disregarding the fact that EVERY STUDY EVER CONDUCTED ON THE TOPIC shows that that is what men get in marriage. Even the most egalitarian marriages are just woman doing 5 more hours of childcare/housework a week than the…

It's not that men are consciously thinking, "Oh, I want a sexy maid!"

So re-posting a study I found online is "shoving my premade conclusions down someone's throat?"

I don't think that we have to assume that anyone here is being particularly selfish. In modern society, being a wife does have a very different set of expectations attached to it than being a husband does. A single man who thinks about marrying in the future can envision a traditional relationship, in which he might…

This reminds me of something I read somewhere, where men and women were both asked what their "comfort foods" were. Men tended to answer with things that are labor-intensive and/or complex to make - lasagna, meatloaf, fried chicken. Women tended to respond with convenience foods that don't require preparation -…

"among part-time workers, women actually make slightly more money than men do."
