Women, Men and Breaking Up
Breaking up
Is breaking up harder on women? Who have a stronger emotional reaction?
A study released a few weeks ago says, “Yes.” … But not really…
I took a look at the numbers and — really! — the sexes are much more alike than different.
There’s actually no “evolutionary” difference to explain (though the researchers say there is). Read the rest of this entry

Fetishes are Natural – Unless Desensitized?
Paul Gauguin, Two Tahitian Women
I get a lot of feedback on a piece I wrote called, “Men Aren’t Hard Wired To Find Breasts Arousing.”
There, I note that you don’t find the breast fetish in every culture. For instance, you don’t find it in tribal societies. So it can’t be biological.
Several men have suggested that the fetish is natural, but when you see it all the time men simply become desensitized. Like this guy: Read the rest of this entry

Sex Isn’t About Fun. It’s About Procreation
No kids = no sex?
Sex isn’t about fun. If you want to have fun, read a book, go to a movie. Sex is about the procreation of children.
Jerome Corsi’s not alone in that belief. Read the rest of this entry

Objectification: Male & Female Fantasies
Édouard Manet – La Nymphe Surprise
Some guys complain that they want to be objectified, too!
Judging from research at the University of Montréal, men may want to be objectified more than women do.
The researchers asked men and women to rank 55 fantasies and describe their personal favorite. The average age of respondents was 30, and 85% were straight, 3.6% were gay/lesbian and the rest were none of the above.
Findings? Below are the percentage of women and men who have had each fantasy: Read the rest of this entry

Tossed Between “Prude,” “Sexy,” and “Slut”
One-piece black bathing suit.
By Cassie Kent
I changed my Facebook profile picture to one showing me atop a small abandoned fishing boat in the Dominican Republic.
I’m wearing a black one-piece swimsuit. My arms are braced behind my head as I coyly look over my shoulder with a small smile aimed at the camera.
The photo was taken as my friends and I posed in exaggerated ways, pretending to be on America’s Next Top Model. Read the rest of this entry

Donald Trump’s Sexist, Racist Appeal
Donald Trump
More than 40% of Republicans have favored Donald Trump for President at some point.
Some despite his sexism and racism. They’re just fed up with establishment politicians who are so busy serving wealthy interests (thanks $ in politics!) that they often ignore their middle-class and working-class voters. I get it!
But others appear to be drawn to his bigotry.
Why is that? Read the rest of this entry

Guys Don’t Expect Women To Be Porn Stars
How to make love like a porn star
I asked my male students if they thought that guys expected women to act like porn stars.
Most didn’t think so.
Keep in mind that these were all guys who were willing to take a women’s studies class (where I surveyed them). So they may have more gender-equal attitudes than most. But here’s what they thought:
About 50% thought that in real life guys didn’t expect women to act like porn stars.
The other 50% thought that at least some men did. But 20% of them said that they didn’t personally feel that way.
So overall, 70% didn’t expect women to behave like porn stars.
As they described it: Read the rest of this entry

Donna Trump: You’re no “10” Brad Pitt!
“Donna” Trump. Photo from The Daily Sqib.
I’ve been thinking about Donald Trump’s sexism.
What if Donald morphed into Donna? How would we perceive HER?
Donna opines on an over-30 Brad Pitt: “Sadly, he’s no longer a 10.” 😦
Would anyone take a look at Donna and think that that’s an odd thing to say since she’s clearly no “10” either? Read the rest of this entry

Cleavage is Hot; Breastfeeding is Nasty?
Sexy vs Breastfeeding
A mother breastfeeds her baby at a mall, a bus stop or on a public bench.
How do people respond?
- Do you have to do that here?
- There are private places where you can do that.
- You disgust me! That’s not something you can do in public. You’ve got to go home.
The word “disgust” comes up a lot.
When mom doesn’t stop, the offended make a quick exit. Read the rest of this entry

Porn Can Cause E.D.?
Porn can cause E.D.
One day I mentioned in class that, strangely, porn can cause E.D.
A male student said he’d thought it was the opposite, that porn cured E.D.
Oddly, both could be true. Read the rest of this entry
