Thank you Eric I did not get the same impression of the article that Zaskoda apparently did.

1. The student/teacher analogy seemed quite a far reach to domination/control. I also didn’t get any oppressive feelings then again perhaps I don’t feel oppressed when someone wants to give me their opinion on something.

2. I also got this was preventing being a victim rather than holding the stance of being a victim.

3. “She is justifying her behavior with the false fear that all men are rapists. “…yeah I didn’t get that since she never stated, suggested, or implied all men were rapists. All she stated was that I don’t know whether you’re a rapist or not because I don’t know you. Just like I don’t know whether that girl walking past me likes anal or not because I don’t know her.

I also find his AFC references unnecessary rambling based on the authors own negativity and emotional response to the article.

I also didn’t find you arguing but merely asking him how he got this impression when everything in the article suggest otherwise.

You probably won’t ever see this but I just got emailed this and the guys wanted to know how did this author get that impression from the article.

Had to comment knowing there was a guy out there who didn’t get Zaskoda’s impression.

I am a woman and a feminist. I don’t like this situation but no matter how hard I try to deny it, it is there. It doesn’t make it right for men to take their chronic sexual frustration out on women, but the frequently do. That is their challenge to bear in a society where we behave in a “civilized” fashion and the males of the species do not have a socially acceptable right to the bodies of the females. We, at least in the United States, tend not to be polygamous either.

Women are very scrutinizing because they can and should be. Their evolutionary desire stems not from spreading their seed to as many men as possible, but to have many children with the healthiest, best male they can find. So, they have the evolutionary tendency to refuse many males until the best one comes along. If this is true, it is also unfair. Her burden to bear is to do her best to ward off unwanted sexual advances.

There are instances where women have the upper hand — when men want sex. There are instances where men have the upper hand — when women want children. It is up to both men and women to control these urges for the greater safety and benefit of society, because this is the type of world we have made for ourselves. There is a time and a place for both sex and children and I’d like to think we know how to use that valuable human intellect that so many of us are proud of to know the difference.

Of course, this is evolutionary psychology which frequently feeds the world lines of bullshit that seek to keep us in our 1950s gender roles, promoting some idealistic nuclear family that has never really existed in history, but that is a different comment for a different blog post.
