Generally agree with the overall points. One or two of my more questionable dating decisions were done out of a sense of embarrassment and shame over being single. It was so freeing to think – you know, really, who the hell cares if I’m single. Tolerating that turd is what should embarrass me. A relationship is just one piece in the puzzle of what makes for a happy life; sometimes other pieces are just bigger and more important to focus on.

Yet this feminist author then says “Let’s be better than the men who came before us — and show them we can appreciate a good-looking guy”….everything AFTER that is meaningless-because what was done was to JUSTIFY objectifying a “good looking guy” and then say “but not the gross way men do”. News flash-if you ENGAGE in the behavior yourself, but ATTACK it in others, you are a hypocrite. Period. Perhaps, just perhaps, it is time that FEMINISTS either GROW UP and start ACTUALLY holding themselves to their OWN standards…or that they STOP hypocritically claiming that “looking at someone attractive is demeaning”.

And by the way, ladies, I have NO interest, zero, zilch in you sexually because I am a GAY man. But I am sick to DEATH of women ASSUMING that if I even look in their direction, or am courteous and hold a door, that I am some misogynistic beast and that they are free (as HAS happened) to publicly BERATE me based on their “feminist” ideology and hypocrisy.
