Scientists Claim Women Are Now More Interested in Sex

It was stupid—but stupid because the study only exists since it's
predicated on ideas of what women should do rather than what they
actually do.
Over at Slate, Amanda Hess has a great piece on the topic,stemming
from spending some time at a Playboy party—in which the
editor-in-chief tells her, "We used to have a pickle shot now and
again. Not anymore."—and a book (Daniel Bergner's What Do Women Want?)
that's out today. Bergner's book, Hess writes, breaks down all the
modern female stereotypes: "That women are not visual creatures; that
their s*x drive is lower than men's; that they're aroused by love, not
s*x; and that they're naturally fitted to be s*xual objects,
notagents."
More from Hess:
If society didn't realize all of that before, Bergner writes,it's
because the men who run it didn't want to. "Women's desire—its
inherent rangeand innate power—is an underestimated and constrained
force," he concludes. In the Middle Ages, it was constrained bythe
idea that "lust-drunk witches … left men 'smooth,' devoid of
theirprivate parts." In the last century, it wasconstrained byFreud's
theory that women have "a weaker s*xual instinct" than men. Now,
it'sconstrained bymodern evolutionary psychology that says that "women
are rigged by theirgenes to seek the comfort ofrelationships." Across
culture,Bergner writes,"with scientificor God-given confidence, girls
and women are told how they should feel." Mostly, they should feel
comfortable sexualizing themselves, but not men.
So, basically, Bergner's book looks at a number of people studying why
"women" behave a certain way—rather than just, you know, telling
uswhat's happening and lazily adding to whatever We Already Think. The
main takeaway: women, when outside factors/biases are stri*ped away,
are manly in their s*xual desires—and men,womanly in their
desires—because there's not really much of a difference. Women like
s*x, too! A male-dominated society just made that more difficult to
realize.
What does a post-male-dominated society look like, then? According to
Dr. Jim Pfaus: "more women picking up men, more women getting laid and
leaving, having s*x without waiting to bond, moregirls up in their
rooms at theircomputers clicking on P0*n and self servicing before
they get started on their homework."
