Marriage Taught One Man About Feminism As I write this, my children are asleep in their room, Loretta Lynn is on the stereo, and my wife is out on a date with a man named Paulo. It's her second date this week; her fourth this month so far. If it goes like the others, she'l come home in the middle of the night, crawl into bed beside me, and tell me all about how she and Paulo had sex. I won't explode with anger or seethe with resentment. Ill tell her it's a hot story and I'm glad she had fun. It's hot because she's excited, and I'm glad because I'm a Before my wife started sleeping with other men, I certainly considered myself a feminist, but I really only understood it in the abstract. When I quit working to stay at home with the kids, I began to understand it on a coping with the withering drudgery of child-rearing. Now that I understand the reality of that situation, I don't blame women fo themselves than the life of the housewife. Still, as a man, I could, if I wanted to, portray what I'm doing as work and thus claim for myself the prestige men traditionally derive from work."Whenever I tell someone I stay home with the kids, they invariably say, "Hardest work in the world. They say this because the only way to account for a man at home with the kids is to say what he's doing is hard work.

I was still a Man. It wasn't until my wife mentioned When people ask how it started, I say this: We married young. She'd had sex before me, but only with a handful of people a handful of times. She never had a boyfriend, never had a lover. I was the first man she ever had the chance to get to know intimately. By her mid-30s, having already had our children and entering her sexual prime, she felt keenly her lack of sexual experience. Happily for me, she was willing to talk about it, willing to ask if I'd be open to exploring other options.

We are afraid that when it comes time for sex, they won't choose us. This petty fear has led us as a culture to place judgments on the entire spectrum of female sexual expression: If a woman likes sex, she's a ㆌ ore and a slut; if she only likes sex with her husband or boyfriend, she's boring and lame; if she doesn't like sex at all, she's frigid and unfeeling. Every option is a trap. can't control. We aren't afraid of their Feminism always comes back to sex, even when we 're talking about everything else. The point isn't that all women should be sexual The point is that it should be women who choose, not men- even the men they're married to. For my wife, the choice between honoring our vows and fulfilling her desires was a false choice, another trap. She knew how deep our love was, and knew that her wanting a variety of sexual experiences as we traveled through life together would not diminish or disrupt that love. It took me about six months many long, intense conversations, and an ocean of red wine before I knew it, too. When my wife told me she wanted to open our marriage and take other t rejecting me, she was That was two years ago, and today we've never been happier, more in tune, t I tell everyone it works for us.

FEMINIST MEDIA CRITICISM PROBLEMS THIS SCANTILLY CLAD FEMALE CHARACTER IS CLEARLY JUST MEANT TO BE EYE CANDY FOR MEN... BUT AM I SLUT SHAMING IN THINKING SHE SHOULD BE MORE COVERED UP? COMPLAINING ABOUT A "WOMAN WARRIOR" CHARACTER IMPLIES THAT WOMEN CAN'T BE STRONG, BUT COMPLAINING ABOUT NOT BEING ONE IMPLIES THAT "FEMININE" TRAITS ARE SOMETHING NEGATIVE BY CRITICIZING THESE FEMALE CHARACTERS, AM I HOLDING WRITERS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR UNEQUAL TREATMENT OF CHARACTERS, OR IMPOSING A HIGHER STANDARD OF JUDGEMENT ON WOMEN, WHILE JUST ACCEPTING MALE CHARACTERS AS THEY ARE??? ALYSSA KOREA.TUMBLR

These two aren't husband and wife. They're lovers with tax benefits.

Part of me hopes she does leave him for someone else, but even that probably won't change his mind. He'll just think he wasn't feministing hard enough or something.

When did things become so screwed up?
