Subject: Jane Ward's Book
In reply to: char 's message, "Re: suspicions" on 11:39:20 03/03/16 Thu

Jane Ward is a lesbian who teaches Gender and Sexuality. Academics like her are a dime a dozen.

The point of her book is be cutting-edge and unique by equalizing the genders in a backdoor way. Instead of going with the typical argument that women are equal to men because they can do X,Y or Z just as well as a man can, she's saying that men are equal to women because they have the same capacity to be straight and engage in same-sex positive behaviors. Her whole books rests on the unfairness of a society that says it's ok for two straight women to kiss each other but it's totally gay for two straight men to do the same. The book is about gender equality NOT straight men who regularly have sex with other men and are still straight.

Unlike women, men are biologically wired to separate sex from emotion. Many straight men have no problem hooking up with woman after woman and never calling any of them again, all because the sex isn't emotional for them. The thing is, their lack of emotion doesn't make them asexual. Emotion, for men, is a psychological behavior. If a man DECIDES he doesn't want to be emotionally connected to a sex partner, he can make that choice. But the lack of emotion does not necessarily say anything about his sexuality, regardless of whether he's having sex with women, men or both.
