@mr. jones: women don't need men to protect them or provide for them (and while I'm at it, that whole evo psych stuff is just awful science and people need to stop believing pseudo scientific theories that prop up existing power structures. That shit ain't sound). Women need men to stop being whiny condescending assholes. Hint: real men don't whine about being "gelded" (another wtf), real men are happy and relieved to be considered complete and equal humans.
And I'm not confused about that, really, really, really not.

Memo to mr. jones: your daughter is not your property. She doesn't need you to "defend her virtue" (wtf?), she needs to be treated like a human being with dignity and autonomy.
And re: felixthecat and "dorm sluts", again wtf? If a woman WANTS to sleep around, she should, and should not be judged for it. If she doesn't, same no big deal. The problem with this ad and the whole women-as-passive-receptacles culture is that the importance of consent (and by consent, I mean 100% enthusiastic actually wanting to do it consent) goes out the window. Women are (or should be) free agents, in control of their own sexuality. And you guys need to step back and accept that.

thanks for your kind words. I really think there is a better future for all of us when we start accepting that everyone has a right to their own wishes and desires and struggles and failures and all that good stuff that comes with living a full adult life. And once we accept that, this culture that sees women as rape receptacles or chattel to be guarded carefully (those are two sides of the same coin) will disappear like the dodo or dinosaurs, but be remembered a lot less fondly. Dinosaurs and dodos were cool.
