I figured that Amanda Marcotte would have something ridiculous to say, and she sure did in the comments. "Turns out men and women are remarkably alike! You’re horny, and your inhibitions are lowered by that and often by alcohol. You hook up. If it’s not really appealing, you go your separate ways. If it’s appealing, then you stick it out."

So as a feminist, she's saying that it's ok to get drunk and hook up. Ok, no problem. She should also be standing up and saying "But if you do, you're still responsible for your actions" and speaking out against 'buyers remorse' rape claims, which is something that she certainly isn't doing.

There's another gem in there from another reader: "I did make my first boyfriend wait 2 years as part of me lashing out against patriarchy—I believed the bullshit about men treat women as conquests, so I wanted him to prove to me that I wasn’t a conquest"

Yikes. Sorry, but your "lashing out" was something that would have been considered abusive if the tables were turned.

Agree.

I disagree, she doesn't have to say that.

It is abusive, but I don't think a lot of people would consider it abusive if the tables were turned. (Because according to the traditional patriarchal worldview women don't want to have sex, so if the man refuses sex, and the woman complains, everyone's head explodes).

But if I were that guy (and if I were a straight guy), I would have left that bitch a long time ago.
