Yeah, the rub here is that "sex" might mean different things to men and women. To many, many, many men it means something like "twiddle with the knobs (nipples, clitoris), masturbate in the vagina, then go to peaceful sleep." Fine and good, but not what I'd call sex. I think one would find that a lot more women would want sex if it played out differently than the scenario above. At the same time, I grant that women have to come out of their generally passive sexual personnas.

I am also fascinated by what I am currently observing in women around me...which is .... that they are with men until they've had the kids they want...and then they move into lesbian relationships. I'm assuming this is because women are easier to live with and because they have a less instrumental view of sex.

Mostly I think that women who are either half or fully supporting a family (and doing all the scut work) are just not going to put up with the kind of shit my mother put up with. Why should they? So, expectations for how they want to be treated have shot way up...and now it's time for men to get with the program if they really want to be with women. If not, I think they should just masturbate. That way they don't have to be inconvenienced by making small talk or taking showers and they can have all the "sex" they want.

I do like some men. I really do.
