    Gay people don't deal with this shit. It appears (from conversations with gay acquaintances and room mates) that negotiating sex for gay men is easy - with none of the jumping through hoops/social cachet that women in their 20s demand.

    This is the gigantic elephant in the living room that so many feminists-that so many women even who are not feminists- want to ignore (it's interesting that gay liberation has resulted in the puncturing of this illusion which is so essential to aspirations of feminist supremacy). The truth is that biologically men are HORNIER and MORE WILLING TO HAVE SEX UNDER MORE DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES than women. Women's point of view is no less hormonally based and no MORE "true", "right","evolved", etc. than men's. Until women are willing to understand this there can never be real equality or even good faith efforts to work towards it (whatever it is).
