My imaginary friend: The G-Spot

My imaginary friend: The G-Spot

Image via Wikipedia Soon to appear in the Journal of Sexual Medicine is a study involving 1,800 women (900 twins) that found no proof of the G-spot in the women they questioned. Questioned, not even examined. And this despite the fact that more than 50 percent of the women questioned, many of them young women, did indeed insist they had a G-spot — but their sisters were no more likely to make the same claim, the scientists said, leading them to conclude that if a female claims to have a G-spot, it is only because she thinks she has one. I’m sorry, but this is like saying a recent study proved the foreskin is a myth because all the twins they questioned were circumcised! And this, despite anecdotal evidence to the contrary. Ask any woman who can squirt if she has a G-spot. The answer is “Hell yeah!” But then…

The First Amendment, Feminists, and Our Christian Nation

The First Amendment, Feminists, and Our Christian Nation

Image via Wikipedia I am one of those feminists who often finds herself at odds with other feminists. My mother was an old-school Andrea Dworkin-style lesbian separatist. I went to a women’s college, the same one that produced Betty Friedan (when I met her at a reunion she was a sharp-tongued, witty, and crotchety old woman) and Gloria Steinem, and, well, lets just say that the fact that I subscribed to Playboy raised more than a few eyebrows. For years I stopped self-identifying as a feminist because the young women around me demanded such conformity of opinions, particularly when it came to things like “pornography”. It always seemed to me that the distinction between healthy erotic objectification of women and exploitation of women was being missed, to the detriment of women, men, and families. On occasion I would quote Betty Freidan to my cohorts: “To suppress free speech in the…

Fearing women

Fearing women

Image by xjyxjy via Flickr It is my assessment that men fear women. They fear women because they do not understand us. Feminine logic escapes them and so they cannot predict us. They fear us because no matter how often they join their bodies with ours, seeking to know and be known — no matter how often they experience the shuddering release of their essence into our bodies — they know, even in that moment of ultimate sharing — of orgasmic bliss– they know they’ve never really penetrated the mystery of our otherness. And never will. And for the male of our species, the systematizers, the catalogers, the knowledge-seekers — what cannot be dismantled, discovered, or known is feared. Sure, there are other emotions mixed in there — respect, for some, and for others, dread, and a need to conquer or destroy — but for the most part, consciously or…
