“What Men (Don’t) Want: Another tired story about the Patriarchy.”

“Interesting stuff. Maybe next time try it without the biased lens of postmodernist oppressed/oppressor categorization. Really made for an unsatisfactory interpretation with that kind of nihilism.”

“Great article. Impact could be enhanced through the use of bullet points and a conclusion paragraph? Regards”

“Not using condoms is OK in a long term committed relationship where there is good communication between the partners.”

“Male and Female mate for the good of nature, it allows us a moment, then it slips away. The salmon just die after this ritual. Humans are, in most cases, destined to live.

“Hello Tara, interesting article indeed. Somehow, however, I struggle to get the final point. So my question is, what is the final point of your article? Is it that men shall be punished for their sexual improprieties and learn the truth about female power and female sexuality and female pleasure? Thanks, Francesco”

“The solution is simple. He offers her a ‘goddess massage’ several times a day and she accepts. The final result is that she has 10 times as many climaxes as he does. Problem solved.”

Comments excerpted from this article

Tara Mulder loves the enthusiasm with which readers responded to her piece and wonders if bullet points really might help.
