I really think you're just looking for offense where none is actually being given. But anyway...

You're saying you don't see the article as blaming men for everything and in the same comment you're basically saying that men are the cause because we have unrealistic expectations

These unrealistic expectations don't come out of nowhere, and I didn't say that they do. I don't blame men just for having these expectations. As you pointed out, society sends men erroneous messages about sex, too. Is it any wonder they think real sex should be a like a porn movie? I don't think it's surprising.

Their problem, not anyone else's

I'm not sure how this attitude would help a woman feel more inclined to talk about it. Look, I get it that if she doesn't say something, you (general "you" here, not you, specifically) can't be expected to read her mind. But on the other hand, your partner knows whether you generally care about her feelings or not. If your attitude says "not," this this partly how couples get into this cycle of one person being dissatisfied, not saying anything about it, getting mad because the person doesn't just read their mind, the other one feeling unfairly attacked, and around and around...

You're saying you don't see the article as blaming men for everything and in the same comment you're basically saying that men are the cause because we have unrealistic expectations and "society" is telling you to shut the fuck up.

Last time I checked, women were part of society, too. So, how can I just be blaming men here? Actually, as I was writing that post, I was partly thinking about all the mothers out there who fail their daughters by not discussing these things with them before they go out into the world.

I'm looking for offense? You started this whole "woe is me, women have it so tough" shit.

I imagine this is pretty close to how you are. Thanks for the laughs this morning, you're hilarious

This from the guy wailing "woe is me" about how women's sexual dysfunction is supposedly the man's fault, even though I said no such thing and neither did the article. Seems like you're just hung up on this notion.

At least I got a Python gif out of it, thanks! But you realize this means I'll never get any work done today, because I have to go and compulsively recite every line from the movie now!
