Why Feminists Have Better Sex
Lori Gottlieb, author of the controversial self help book Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough says that feminists have better sex than non-feminists.
After reading this article in the Globe and Mail, I was a little surprised. I was always under the impression that feminism was not something that is really looked favorably upon in the dating world. In fact, I always thought that most guys hated feminists.
But Gottlieb says that the difference between feminists and non-feminists in the bedroom is that the feminist is likely to have more confidence, and will ask (or tell) her partner exactly what she wants so that she’ll get it.
I think that this is more of an issue of confidence rather than feminism. I know for a fact that some men find a confident woman more attractive than a shy woman. Could it be that this author has confused feminism with confidence?
Gottlieb doesn’t actually define her idea of feminism, and that is my biggest problem with her ideas, but I think that this would be a good story. Ideally, I would interview Gottlieb herself. She is currently single, and pregnant through a sperm donor. I would like to do a story on Gottlieb and how her life is reflecting here ideas outlined in her book.
As well, I would like to get interviews from both men and women, single and in a relationship to get their opinion on dating books, and how Gottlieb portrays the dating world in her book.
