Do you honestly believe the only reasons people have for wanting monogamous relationships are based on things like religion or finances? I have no problem with other people having open relationships, it's actually pretty easy for me to see where they're coming from and I sometimes wish that were my jam. But it's not…

Doesn't Tracy specifically say that this applies to non-hetero couples as well and then cite Dan Savage's experience of maintenance sex in a gay couple?

I'm confused; are you accusing monogamous people of being stupid, irrational, religious bullshit backed thinkers? Or is it people who don't have discussions about their relationships that you're hurling that accusation at?

Not to sound too trite here... But on the notion of the whole 'men are always horny and women must take care of men's sexual needs to maintain a marriage' thing: why aren't there any articles on how men should tend to women's needs, if they want that nookie? Like, hey, men, you want your woman to be turned on and give…

So? Clearly I meant "not the next sentence, but the following sentence" when I said "one sentence after." If I had meant that one, I would have said "the next sentence." If my phrasing was in any way confusing, I made it perfectly clear which one I was referring to by actually quoting the sentence in question.

She does admit it quite clearly - one sentence after the one you quoted:

I did this for about 2 years - politely obliging when my girlfriend wanted to, but never wanting to myself. I finally let her know that she deserved someone who was crazy for her. I was not.

Esther Perel, a leader in the field of sexuality, says it like this: "the cliché is that men are always interested in sex. Male sexuality, we think, is like a perpetual motion machine. Contrary to women, their desire is seen as uncomplicated, a simple biological force seeking an outlet."

We're all secret Saiyans.

This is why I avoid Reddit like the fucking plague that it is.

I'll remind you of that when you walk in on someone you love being raped.

Unless it was necessary

He was acting in defense of another.

Nephew was not charged with anything. +1 for the police this time around.

Honestly, this racism goes beyond anything I would have expected back in 2008... Apparently it's only newsworthy when a black person:

Whoa, peace. You were talking about your specific circumstances, and I made an inference from your posts. I honestly didn't mean to put you down, and there is no shame in not having had a super serious relationship by your mid twenties. In fact, that's normal. I had never had a relationship, ever, before this one…

But that isn't actually true at all. Poor people are significantly less likely to get married than wealthier people. There's lots and lots of data backing this up. That's why so many social scientists and economists have started to refer to marriage as a "luxury good." Where are you getting your observation from?

We congratulate women at the top on their glut of potential male suitors who are looking to couple with an approximate equal, but we pity women at the bottom whose choices are limited if they want stability, security, blah blah (basically a guy with a good stable job).

We can insist on laws and policies that better meet our current challenges, like higher minimum wages, stronger unions, and changing the tax code so that it does not favor the wealthy.
