Porn Fantasy Mistaken for Reality
Porn fantasy versus reality.
By Demon Ted
Does porn raise men’s expectations of how women should perform in bed? I believe it depends entirely on the man’s ability to distinguish between real life and fantasy.
True, you could try to recreate porn in real life. But then it’s not real. It’s acting. So you’re back to fantasy.
I think porn is great to enjoy. But men must realize what it is.
Unfortunately, a lot of men (and some women in regards to things like Twilight) get fantasy and reality mixed up. And that can harm relationships.
Take my girlfriend’s ex. He’s a nasty piece of work. Barely finished high school, can’t drive, no job. Literally sits at home all day. But because my girlfriend was young when she met him, he became a lot of “firsts.” And he made her think that things that weren’t healthy were. Read the rest of this entry

Women Are Incubators? Or Cattle?
Our bodies — our right. Unless women don’t have bodies.
In non-patriarchal societies women are valued.
Not so much in patriarchies, where men rule and men are valued over women — whether you’re talking present-day America or the world circa B.C.E.
Wyoming: Women = Cattle?
Oklahoma and Wyoming Republicans agree women aren’t people, disagree on just what they are.
So proclaims a Daily Kos piece written by Laura Clawson. Read the rest of this entry

Women = Natural Nurturers = Less $, Status and Power
Nurturing dad.
Girls are naturally more nurturing than boys, right?
A lot of people think so.
Some scientists think it’s because testosterone blocks male nurturing instincts.
Incidentally, this notion conveniently brings men more money, status and power.
Because if women are natural nurturers then — naturally — they should stay home with children. And keep out of arenas that bestow money, status and power.
What’s the scientific evidence? Read the rest of this entry

1st Woman President Won’t Be Inaugurated Today
By Pamela Robinson
When I was a girl growing up in Iowa in the 1950s, my parents and teachers told me, along with the boys, that when I grew up I could be whatever I wanted to be, even President of the United States.
In my world, adults told the truth, or what they thought to be the truth, and I believed them. Read the rest of this entry

Hillary, Pizza and Witch Hunts
Hillary Clinton and witch hunting
“She’s a witch!”
The accusation once moved the masses to mindless fury.
I’d thought we’d outgrown that. Guess not.
It’s not hard to imagine the same folks who shout “Lock her up!” today yelling “Burn her!” a few centuries ago. Read the rest of this entry

Men Fearing Women’s Sexuality
Fearing women’s sexuality.
By Jonathan Jefferson
Back in high school I was surprised at the amount of hatred that could be directed toward women in common, everyday conversation.
Guys talked about ex-girlfriends or girls they’d slept with in such a negative light.
If a girl had been with another boy — at all — anyone who slept with her later could do no better than “sloppy seconds.” Read the rest of this entry
