Chronicling the ongoing intersectional struggle to liberate women — inclusively defined as the legacy kind and the transgenders — from The Patriarchy™, one microaggression at a time.
Women’s magazine: Men enjoying their female partners' orgasms is ‘a bad thing’
Via The Journal of Sex Research (emphasis added):
Research has suggested that this focus on women’s orgasms, though ostensibly for women, may actually serve men; but the mechanisms of this are unclear. In the present experiment, we hypothesized that women’s orgasms specifically function as a masculinity achievement for men…
Our results showed that men felt more masculine and reported higher sexual esteem when they imagined that a woman orgasmed during sexual encounters with them, and that this effect was exacerbated for men with high masculine gender role stress.
It’s bad and wrong for men not to care about making their girlfriends/wives orgasm, but it’s equally lamentable to want to make them orgasm.
Either way, you lose in what we might call a “double-bind” — damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
The skeptic might wonder if the rigging of the game to guarantee the guy loses isn’t the point of the exercise.
But, of course, it all makes sense once the realization is made that these people’s goal is not equality in the bedroom or whatever nonsense but rather wrecking male-female relationships and therefore society as a whole, creating a whole new cohort of embittered women Cosmo readers to cater to and a whole class of disillusioned and bitter men to complain about.
Then, when some incel kid whose liberal mother spent his whole life teaching him he was a worthless predator shoots up the school, it’s the toxic masculinity and not the naked misandry from the likes of Cosmopolitan that’s responsible.
The women’s rag gleefully parlayed the study’s conclusion into a feminist screed.
Via Cosmopolitan (emphasis added):
It's not enough that men are already having more orgasms than women. To make matters worse, a new study published in the Journal of Sex Research found — aside from deriving pleasure from their own orgasms, obviously — men also derive a specific sort of masculine pleasure from making female partners orgasm. The researchers in the study, Sara Chadwick and Sari van Anders, refer to this incredibly predictable phenomenon as a "masculinity achievement."…
The researchers draw a fairly frightening conclusion from the research findings. When women's orgasms begin to serve as a masculinity achievement for male partners, the orgasms cease to be about women's liberation or sexual pleasure*. They just become another opportunity for men to flex, or "shore up their sense of masculinity."
*What does making women climax have to do with “women’s liberation”? Your guess is as good as mine; these people never bother explaining their absurd propositions, apparently on the assumption that everyone attended the same Women’s and Gender Studies seminar, packed with purple hair and septum rings as far as the eye can see, that they did.
Katy Perry’s global girlboss tour not going swimmingly after fake space ‘journey’
As the headliner for Jeff Bezos’ recent Blue Origins advertisement disguised as an act of feminist empowerment, Katy Perry likely delusionally believed the public would be so impressed with the spectacle that they would flock to her coincidentally-timed global tour.

It seems she may have miscalculated.
Via Futurism (emphasis added):
When perusing Ticketmaster seat maps for Perry's "Lifetimes" tour, which kicked off this week in Mexico City and will come to the US in just a few weeks, it's clear that folks are not vibing with the "I Kissed A Girl" songstress and her recent space shenanigans on Jeff Bezos' New Shepard rocket.
In Houston, the first American stop of the artist's North America-spanning tour that will meander through these United States starting May 7, more than half of the city's Toyota Center amphitheater is still lit up blue on the scammy website's seating map — a sign that many of those spots have not been bought. With the cheapest tickets going for $97, it's not hard to see why.
In Minneapolis, it's even worse: only one third of the 20,000 seats at the Twin Cities' Target Center have been filled — and those are even cheaper at $75 a pop with fees included…
It seems obvious that the widely criticized Blue Origin flight did no favors for the "Woman's World" singer, who has struggled to regain relevancy over the past decade.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, an unnamed insider claimed that things are as tumultuous behind the scenes of the "Lifetimes" tour as they appear in public.
Sad!
I’m no top pop music critic, but her actual Whore of Babylon-inspired show here on Earth probably isn’t helping move tickets either.
