Why can't a woman's s*xuality be more like a man's? : Comments
By Leslie Cannold, published 10/6/2010Is low libido in women pathological or just evidence that female s*xuality is different to men's? And is a pill the answer?

Vanna, could you show me statistics that prove that single women (that is, those with no partner at all) are the main clientèle of any IVF clinic?
I am a midwife and have never heard of this claim before. As to your bizarre constant demands for a <" ...list of Australian academic feminists who have published articles that say something good about the male gender (best of luck in finding any)." Why would a lecture or paper from any University academic need to say positive things about males? Under what context or lesson would this sort of comment be appropriate? Have you any lists of Australian academic chauvinists who have any positive things to say about females at all? Posted by suzeonline, Wednesday, 16 June 2010 2:39:12 PM

Invent an illness sell more drugs: Drug giant's secret love-in with Aussie sexperts " About a month ago sex experts across Australia received an email inviting them to a "consulting session" in Sydney, offering to pay $1,000 each, and shout them a feed, flights and free accommodation. "As a medical professional with a high media profile…you are invited to attend a Media Consulting Session to discuss a common yet relatively unrecognised medical condition affecting women called Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD)" said the email, which I obtained. The session's aim was two-fold; first to "share with you an overview of this highly prevalent medical condition (HSDD affects up to one in 10 women) and the science behind it." Certainly, the company knows a thing or two about the science behind HSDD: it is helping to construct it. One of the key pieces of "scientific" evidence behind the claim that up to 1 in 10 women suffer with HSDD is a Boehringer-funded study run by five scientists with financial ties to it, including a company employee. The second aim outlined in the email to Aussie sex experts was to "seek your input and advice on how you and others in the media may respond to and report on the issue, how best to communicate about the condition and its management, and the type of information and resources that will assist in accurate and balanced reporting on HSDD."

Will they be able to play the piano no hands after dropping a couple of tabs?
Or offer the sort of rigidity when middle aged that can enable your 'partner' to reach the highest shelf in the cupboard? Take the money and go see if a woman's sexuality can be more like a man's. Posted by Cornflower, Wednesday, 16 June 2010 3:46:05 PM

Academics who have written positive things about males? Well I studied Science and then did politics and much was positive about the research and contributions of various male and female scientists as well as men and women who fought for freedom throughout history. I could list them all here but would quickly meet the world limit. I always become suspicious when people make blanket statements about any one group whether they be feminists, men, Muslims, Christians or flower arrangers. Most feminists I know believe that gender equity and fairness has be inclusive of men whether it be via more flexible work and family arrangements or more equity in the Courts in relation to marriage breakdown and child custody. We can all cherry pick the worst of feminist literature and equally the worst cases of misogynistic cultures to paint men as all-bad. You make broad sweeping negative statements about feminists casting all men in an evil light, yet are doing exactly the same vis a vis feminism. If you want to continue to believe there is a feminist hate conspiracy against men, I suspect there is probably nothing anyone, least of all me, could say or write to convince you differently -so be it.

Pelican,
I would think that you can’t list any academic feminists from Australian universities that have published an article that says even one good thing about the male gender. Many thousands of words have been written by academic feminists in universities about “men”, with nothing positive said about men. For example: - “Why not give men a drug to settle them down?” This is a totally demeaning and denigrating portrayal of men by an academic feminist employed by TWO universities, when every university in this world that I am aware of has been built by men, nearly every textbook has been written by men, and men pay most of the costs of running universities because they pay most of the personal income tax. I wonder how "men" manage to do all that (and much more) when they are so sexually preoccupied (or portrayed as being sexually preoccupied). The continuous negativity towards men and the deionization of men is the main characteristic of feminism, with equality being used as the smokescreen. Still waiting on your list of academic feminists from any Australian university have have published an article with just one good thing said about the male gender (and best of luck in finding those elusive “equality” feminists).

Could yet be a dollar in it !
If anything, our society limits women in their access to sex to one partner while ovulating, and a few days later it is limiting their easily excitable male partners to the same restrictions .
After a hot week it's a strange mix of Love and lust that somehow seems to get most of us happily through the rest of the month.
