An AskMen.com Article: Convince Her to Have Anal

This. Pisses. Me. Off. The article starts off by saying how anal sex is something that many men enjoy, which they seem to think is the most important bullet point when it comes to anal se between a man and a woman. Men love it, so who cares if women don’t? AskMen.com doesn’t. 

And obviously not all women dislike or are afraid of anal sex. But if you’re a man and you have a girlfriend who has expressly said that she does not want to try anal sex, don’t worry! You don’t actually have to respect her wishes, personality, or choices - you can CONVINCE her. The message here that AskMen.com is trying to give to men is that what they want comes before what women want, but are acknowledging that there may be some pesky obstacles, namely consent, in their way to having the particular type of sex they want.

The article raises some accurate points about how anal sex can be a stimulating and enjoyable experience for a woman - but raises these points to achieve a specific goal: They’re trying to provide men with tools to coax women into doing things that they simply do not want to do (or as they put it, to help men “fulfill [their] fantas[ies]”. Lovely.

Because in the end, if it’s good for a man, women kind of just have to learn to deal with it. 

Right, AskMen.com?

Half Brain Dead, Half Book Smarts: It's International Women's Day!

halfbraindeadhalfbooksmarts:

The following .gif post is taken from Ann Friedman’s blog. Check that shit out.

The year is 2012. Women were basically just hanging out.

You know, doing lady stuff.

We’d gotten used to the fact that, for decades, people have been trying to tell us what to do.

That we should…

True gender equality is actually perceived as inequality. A group that is made up of 50% women is perceived as being mostly women. A situation that is perfectly equal between men and women is perceived as being biased in favor of women.
And if you don’t believe me, you’ve never been a married woman who kept her family name. I have had students hold that up as proof of my “sexism.”
My own brother told me that he could never marry a woman who kept her name because “everyone would know who ruled that relationship.” Perfect equality – my husband keeps his name and I keep mine – is held as a statement of superiority on my part.

We All Have a Story: Ways Gender-Privileged Men Can Challenge Sexism

meeca:

(This list will be forever in-progress. Please add on as you see fit).

  • Challenge sexist jokes, such as dumb blonde jokes or jokes about rape.
  • Avoid using words such as “bitch”, “hoe”, “slut.”
  • Recognize when you “zone out” when women are speaking, when you value a man’s opinion…

The sex drive of men is something we are all comfortable with in this country. It’s funny and hormonal and slapstick (American Pie), it’s potentially uncontrollable, maniacal/homicidal (American Psycho), it is adulterous and is insatiable (American Beauty), it is fun and social (American Graffiti) and it is entrepreneurial (American Gigolo). But women? No. NC-17. XXXX. Stop it with the moaning.
