I see this as a good sign that Obama is not going to kowtow to the various special interest groups that make up the Democratic party. It should have been obvious from the last 18 months Obama will be governing from the center...which is the only way to be successful. Cut out the left and right wing radicals and govern with competence, that's what I voted for !

This homage to Susan Sontag seems to only include her supporters view and ignores the many critics who saw her as a poser who dealt in shock journalism. Public intellectual ?....maybe in your women's studies class.

So she is quoted as saying she did pinup work because it paid better than secretary work. How does this get turned into a lack of options ? Propaganda.

How does purchasing a razor blade cost anymore for a woman than a man ? And to all you purists out there, who say there should be no trimmed bush.....I guess it's a given your married to a mountain man ? hypocrites....especially you laurel962.

The crowd that see's this subject as a male security thing. Do you have to be a PUMA to believe this ?

Any woman who wants her man's face clean shaven is a disgusting pedophile.

Is a troll trying to sell books...stop

That this story is a huge waste of time....what a great topic for broadsheet !

Women getting wasted so they can have casual sex is not feminism, it's pigism. The fact that your confused by this is clearly at the root of your ability to digest this study. Do you think a majority of parents are out there encouraging their boys to get wasted so they can have casual sex, but the girls don't get the same encouragement ? Do you think parents say it's ok for the boys, but it's not ok for the girls ? I think you need to work on your own sexual issues, I don't think they are related to feminism at all.

Now that the thread has been hijacked....glad to see all the men/women haters show up. For the folks whose views align with broadsheet propaganda.....your missing the way the real world works. There have been many generalizations about how men and women behave, most of them representing personal views based on how they have been wronged in the past. If you want to know how the majority of men and women behave....you won't find it here.

Is there anyone than can dispute that Broadsheet is anything but this definition of propaganda ?

Propaganda is the dissemination of information aimed at influencing the opinions or behaviors of large numbers of people. As opposed to impartially providing information, propaganda in its most basic sense presents information in order to influence its audience. Propaganda often presents facts selectively (thus lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or gives loaded messages in order to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. The desired result is a change of the cognitive narrative of the subject in the target audience to further a political agenda.

After going back and clicking through the links, I realized this is not a serious post but nothing more than a rehash of the feminist echo chamber tripe: "What are men gonna do now that women are so fabulous?"

Please.

It appears to me the only men having a crisis in masculinity are men (boys) being raised without men in their life. The fact that the men or boys in TCF's orbit are confused should not be surprising, since they are being indoctrinated into a feminist cult which is far from reality. In my orbit, where families actually stay together and support and rely on each other, the boys and men have no identity/masculinity issues. I guess when boys are brought up in an environment where men are valued and important, it makes all the difference in the world.

"First, it's "you're", not "your" in this context. People who set themselves up as the arbiter of what should be set themselves up for grammar flames."

Great catch !

"You are not the one to decide who or what I am or any woman is."

I am in my eyes...much like your opinions are only relevant to you.

You are CERTAINLY not the one to say "well, you've got a doctorate so you're some sort of intermediate thing provided I like how you behave."

I don't recall saying that....

"Don't you realize what you're doing? How much Kool-Aid did they make you drink?"

This statement has no meaning.

How about a correlation study of social ills vs. promiscuity.

"If neither sex ever engaged in sex without love, you can be sure that the human race would become extinct in approximately three generations, because no one would ever have sex to find out whatt all the fuss was about, so many would remain virgins, nearly all one-night-stands would fail the test except in cases of love at first sight, and because 95% of marital sex would be eliminated."

I disagree with this assessment....I also think the number of social ills that the world must deal with would drop considerably by eliminating unwanted babies and fatherless children. It's not like we have a shortage of people.

"Don't get me wrong. When sex and love do coincide it is nice, but they are not necessary for each other. I love my wife and I have sex with her, but the actual sex is not necessarily any different from sex with a woman I don't love"

Just WOW ! The reason I married my wife was because I loved her and the sex I had with her was COMPLETELY different than sex I had with women I did not love. In fact, that's what turned me off about having freely available sex without an emotional connection, to me, it was no different than masturbating .

Your free to jump into the mud with the pigs with both feet. Just don't pretend your any different then.
