Maclean's Magazine "The Price of Sex is at an All Time Low". This is a very interesting read in that it seems to be from a scholarly point of view yet its logic is incredibly flawed. The basic argument that is being presented is that women are becoming more and more like "men." It argues that as women are seeking to "have sex like men," and as they seek higher education and higher incomes that they will limit themselves to the kinds of partners that they will be able to have.
What is assumed by this is that first, "men" is a homogeneous group and that women aspire to be just like that group. We know that this is not true. "Men" are not a group any more than "whites" are a group. The vastness of experience that exists within these groups is simply astounding. This also assumes that every one in the world wants to be just like "men."
Give it a read, and see what you think...
