Because if there is one human-driven force on this earth that is unrelenting, it's lack of foresight narcissism.

I'm not sure hysteria can be classified as a "trend" in the way you are using the term, nor was it interesting or downright peculiar—the history paints a far more disturbing picture. Here's a link specific to Britain, and one on Charcot (there's lots more out there, but those are from a quick Google search).

Again, you're clearly deeply unfamiliar with feminist theory (what is this "feminist literature" you speak of?), since if you were, you wouldn't be in the smug position of writing it all off as "angry, generalizing, hate-spewing bullshit". The MRA in you is strong.

Forget-Me-Knot

Actually, my comment history is pretty vast, but when trolls go out of their way to be assholes (and yes, you're included in this illustrious category), I don't have the energy or time to go into a detailed explanation of why said trolling is in fact trolling.

Lol, you should settle down on the posting. Your comments are the textual equivalent of foaming at the mouth.

Far from*, whoops.

You have no idea what you're talking about, and you're clearly just here to rile. Thanks for confirming.

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. Nice troll, though.

I don't disagree with you there. I think they used "pouty" though because this action is so passive-aggressive—but then, so is her sharing it on Reddit. So I don't know, they're both kind of awful.

You'll note I specifically used "feminist theorists" in my comment—interesting how you're changing the goal-posts now to exclusively talk about "feminist journalism" (PS: Jezebel is not journalism, nor is it particularly feminist).

I agree—at least one of the main problems this couple is experiencing (since we don't know what is going on) is a real lack of communication. :-\

No, you are the one that missed the point. The OP in question was clearly coming from a good place, but all too often the issues that POC experience are drowned out by white voices—ziggybloodlust was calling attention to that.

Yeah, I can't even with some of these comments.

Agreed. The misogyny in a lot of these comments is pretty gross. With that said, she does seem pretty terrible for sharing it, so maybe they're a match made in heaven?

Having an open and honest communication is, interestingly enough, not one of your imagined options.

Why should she apologize to him? That's not what a partnership is about. If something is reducing her libido—like medication, or depression, or physical illness, etc. etc.—her husband should be understanding of that. She doesn't need to self-flagellate to be a decent spouse.

While the assumptions you are making are possibilities, they are from a given. You sound like someone who has never been in a long-term relationship.

I'm not shooting any messengers, just underlining what a specious argument I think that is, particularly since it's usually trotted out on this site by people critiquing "feminism" (which is not at all a monolithic movement) and using said argument to explain why feminism is "doing it wrong".
