As college women returned to school this fall, some were welcomed back to rape culture.

A few college boys who haven’t yet grown into man-sized shoes unravelled banners shouting:

The Most Important Thing For a Woman: Be Hot

Many young women think that the most important thing is to be hot. And in a very narrow way.

It’s no wonder. They’re bombarded by narrowly sexy images.

Go to Google Images and type “sexy images” or “sexy fantasies.” About 99% of the pics will be of women.

What? Men aren’t sexy?

And why do they all look alike. Isn’t variety the spice of life?

Go to Las Vegas and take a look at the billboards. About 99% will be sexy ladies. Read the rest of this entry

Coming With Your Partner

couple in bedIf you don’t climax when you are with your partner you’re not alone. Less than one-third of women say they do.

But twice as many orgasm when they “do it” alone (aka masturbation). Like this 54-year-old:

I have never had an orgasm except by myself, so my definition of “heterosexual pleasure” is sensuous rather than sensual.

Patriarchy Drains Our Confidence

A man is not a financial plan-2

A man is not a financial plan-2

By Kloranne Kambou

Like some Westerners, a woman in my country — the Republic of Congo — may see a man as a financial plan.

Maybe that’s not surprising since our culture lifts men above women and gives us fewer opportunities.

When a woman births a boy she gains respect. He will become head of his own family — which he will rule and provide for. Only boys can pass on the heritage of their fathers.

Growing up, I saw women arise early to do laundry, cook, clean and work in the fields. Men slept as long as they wanted. When the men finally did wake up and come for breakfast, they were served first. They were also served first for every other meal.

Objectification & Male Self-Esteem

man objectifying womanWhy do men objectify women?

Jason Gavis asked men that question on his Facebook page and wrote about their replies for The Good Men Project. Here’s one answer he got:

For me it’s about seeking approval… the most fun and exciting and ego gratifying times in my life have been when I have embraced it and danced with it.

This reminded me of a woman who said (more like complained) that her guy seemed to get an ego-boost whenever a woman he ogled noticed him.

So I’m wondering why this is.  Read the rest of this entry

What To Do When She Loses Interest

loving coupleA lot of men get bummed out when their partners stop being porn stars after a few years.

Heck, after a few years many women aren’t too interested in sex at all, let alone mimicking skin starlets.

Testosterone Damages Verbal Skill. Yet We Have Shakespeare

Penn State psychologists assert that career choice begins in utero, hinging on exposure to sex hormones in the womb.

Since testosterone damages both verbal and social skills, it simply makes sense that women would seek people-oriented jobs, while testosterone-soaked males would veer toward non-people pursuits like the hard sciences, right?  Read the rest of this entry

Blondes: Picky as Men Who Prefer them?

I’m still regarded a libidinous lad by a lot of (especially buxom blonde) ladies, so this muscular, boyishly handsome 5’8 black 58-year-old ALMOST ALWAYS ogles well-endowed women because I’m proud to be considered an aging lad!!!! How ’bout it, girls?

Men may have success using insults to pick up women — if both the men and the women involved are misogynists, say researchers. Read the rest of this entry

F- The Patriarchy. Literally?

Screw the patriarchy. Literally?

Screw the patriarchy. Literally?

A married, non-monogamous friend of mine says I should be non-monogamous, too.

Because exclusive relationships were instituted to dominate women’s sexuality.

I’ve heard this line before. But not from someone who could personally benefit from it. Read the rest of this entry
