Have We Really Come a Long Way?

Elizabeth Wurtzel spills about how feminism has taken on a new meaning.

Then again, Wurtzel also sees feminism as “owning your own orgasm” and that’s pretty sexy. Is there a middle ground, or will we continue to wade between what we’ll accept and what we deserve?

    Read that article in the times. Women don’t seem to get it. Although they should feel more free to get in touch with their sexuality, the direct consequence is that men feel less apt to stay in a relationship with a women when sex is so freely excessible. I think the economic rule of incentives explains in best, women as a whole are willing to have sex without a commitment (for a while), and divorce (especially in Cali) tends to favor the women. So men naturally weigh the potential consequences and decide that marriage/commitment are not worth it. Men are attracted to youthful women, where as women are attracted to a established, mature men, reguardless of age. If men can continue to get sex from willing, young, liberated women, why get tied down with a women who wants marriage and responsibility? Women are funny, they want to have fun and mess around in their twenties, but as they approach the age when they want to settle down, they forget that women years younger are constantly filling the void that they left behind. Feminism never took the into account the shelf life our culture has placed on women and their looks, which sadly, ends rather quickly.
