Author uncovers surprising secrets of female sexuality, including monogamy and rape / submission fantasies

Our thanks to Patrick for this. An extract, taking up the remainder of this blog piece:

The results of 10 separate studies so rattled sexologist Marta Meana that she was initially hesitant to talk about them: Between 30 and 60 percent of women reported frequently having what’s been termed “rape fantasies,” and many of the women who described their own daydreams were also disturbed. “If I truly believed in women’s equality with men,” said one, “then I’d have to have sex and imagine sex that reflected that — no domination, no rape fantasies. One result was that I married a nice liberal man who shared my convictions on how sex should be. Seven years later we divorced.”

Most experts believe that the number of women who have so-called rape fantasies is actually much higher, but the notion and nomenclature is so taboo few are willing to admit to it. One theory holds that the fantasies actually dial into female narcissism, the notion that one is so unbelievably desirable that a man — whether a professor or family friend or stranger — is so overcome with longing that he loses control. [J4MB: Maybe the fantasies also “dial into” female preference to avoid agency.]…

“I hate the term ‘rape fantasies,’ ” Meana says in the book. “In fantasy, we control the stimuli. In rape, we have no control. They’re really fantasies of submission.”

Alarm at ‘anti-white’ sentencing guidelines

A new piece by Kathy Gyngell for TCW. I’ve posted the following comments:

“To expand on the Robert Jenrick remark. The new guidelines are not only ‘anti-white’, they’re anti-male, as females will be the beneficiaries of more pre-sentencing reports. This is on top of a criminal justice system which already treats men far more harshly than women – esspecially with regards to custodial sentences – as described in forensic detail in William Collins’s “The Empathy Gap: Male Disadvantages and the Mechanisms of Their Neglect”. The ebook is a steal at under £5.00.”

Joshua Rozenberg: “Sense in sentencing”

Joshua Rozenberg is a British lawyer and the husband of Melanie Phillips. Our thanks to DM for this. He writes:

“The Sentencing Council still do not want to remove women from the list of “cohorts” who should get a pre-sentence report before deciding on a community service or custodial sentence. Blatant sexism!!”

The gender accountability gap

I spend some time most days posting comments in response to articles in media outlets including The Times, The Spectator, Substack, Unherd, Quillette. It’s a productive way to introduce more people to our materials. The comments attract both support and challenges, the latter usually from feminists.

Last Monday The Times published an article (£) by Melanie Phillips, Assault on masculinity has only created cavemen. I posted a number of comments and one feminist genius replied with:

“Mike, you’re traumatised by a failed relationship. Please get professional help with your residual anger. It’s not good for your health.”

Later she posted this:

“Kyle Clifford.”

I replied with this:

“Thank you for giving me the perfect opportunity to write about the gender accountability gap.

I assume you’re implying that Kyle Clifford’s murder of three women says something about the nature of men as violent, in contrast with the peaceful nature of women. This is an old feminist tactic – presenting the worst of men as representative of men, while presenting the best of women as representative of women. A few thoughts:

The Partner Abuse State of Knowledge Project (PASK) was published in May 2013 in the journal Partner Abuse and is the most comprehensive review of domestic violence research ever carried out. This unparallelled three-year research project was conducted by 42 scholars at 20 universities and research centres.

A key numerical result from the PASK review was:

“Among large population samples, 57.9% of intimate-partner violence (IPV) reported was bi-directional, 42.1% unidirectional, 13.8% of the unidirectional violence was male-to-female, 28.3% was female-to-male.”

Women cause men’s deaths in ways including denying them access to their children, a major driver of the high male suicide rate.

So you imply a man responsible for killing three women says something about men. But you ignore the millions of British women who’ve killed 10+ million unborn children since the 1967 Abortion Act. Of course the reality is hidden behind such feminist euphemisms as “reproductive rights” and “bodily autonomy”. That’s the gender accountability gap.
