From: blp Category: Life Date: 27 May 2008 Time: 07:27 PM Review: I did try to acknowledge that nature was usually a shit argument, then pointed out why it seemed to work in this instance. Instead of answering any of my points about why that is, you've just conflated the particular with the general, snapping back to pointing out that it's usually a shit argument and using the bullying 'racists did it' manoeuvre to try to show how bad it is. Do I have to just keep making the same points over and over again? Did I really express myself that badly? When I referred to the marginalisation of the female orgasm, I was talking about precisely the history of devalued feminine sexuality to which you refer. But the situation's changed, as cappy nun also points out, so that the female orgasm is now seen as a matter of vital importance. All I'm saying is, in a situation where that's the case, mightn't the marginalisation of female ejaculation be down to something other than sexism? to whit. the basic mysteriousness of the whole thing. I'll say it again: plenty of women, who are otherwise clued up about their sexuality and quite unashamed of asking for what they want, don't ask for this.
