[Content Note: Rape culture; heterocentrism.]
"Men used to marry to have sex and a family. They married for love, too, but they had to marry the girl before taking her to bed, or at least work really, really hard to wear her down. Those days are gone."—Anti-feminist bozo Suzanne Venker, arguing "in a recent column that feminism and contemporary sexual mores have eliminated men's incentives to marry."
Alas and alack, the good old days of men having to "work really, really hard to wear down" a woman to get her to sleep with him are no more. What a tragedy for us all that feminism has ruined all-American, old-fashioned sexual coercion and replaced it with the expectation of meaningful consent between equal partners.
