If you read it all she does is quote from research journals and what not. At least talk to some students, or write about a personal experience, if you're going to bother with an article like that, otherwise it just reads like a research paper. And either way the intent it would seem is to publish articles that are daring and attention grabbing. I guess in that sense it at least worked, but it strikes me as rather lame. Be original and do more than just read up on it online, or don't waste our time.
 
I don't see a problem with it. It is not gripping journalism, but who knows maybe it was a slow news day, Falzone has been to ISU many, many, many times so maybe she was there or she is coming back...either way, I don't see the issue with it.

Well like I said I posted the link before reading the article. The headline and the fact that it appears to be an editorial type article I thought it was something simlar to the weed article. Clearly wasn't that at all.

I like Bent just don't see the point in this article.

Wow! I could come on strong and call these posts puritanical male misogyny with strong hints of male inadequacy. I'll just rack up the concerns about this "IN Statesman" article (Which I would emphasize was part of a Women's Issue, complete with pink page identifiers.) to the abysmal job parents and schools do in the area of sex education. The following information alone is enough to justify the article as reading material in a college filled with young women and men who have learned what they know of sexuality from fumbled experiments and soft and hard core porn:

In her writing, Koedt discusses how in the ‘70s, it was common for a woman’s frigidity to be directly correlated with her ability to achieve orgasm, when in reality, neither women nor their partners were educated enough about their body to correctly attempt a vaginal orgasm. Women were actually diagnosed as having a “problem” if they didn’t orgasm, and were directed to psychiatrists.

This concept is framed around the fact that women’s sexuality in the ‘70s was strictly based around a man’s needs; a woman’s biology was not properly analyzed, and mutual pleasure was lacking significantly, hence the prominence and belief that vaginal sex was the path to sexual pleasure for both partners. According to Koedt, it is only the man’s path to sexual pleasure; “Women have thus been defined sexually in terms of what pleases men.”

Well, perhaps this is just another case of the more things change the more they remain the same. I hope Mourdock, Akin and the manly men of the Republican Rape Response Corps read some of the material cited in this article. It's sad and alarming when men who came of age in the 1970s are running for the high office of the United States Senate still think like the sophomores in high school they once were.
 
You are rite. Why should they run for office? They should be teaching school.

Personally, I learned in my late teens that the physical attributes of my lady partners mattered little because I went BLIND when I had an orgasm.
