    frankly, everyone who feels disenfranchised or mistreated needs a movement.

    if you're not content with the status quo, it's your right to voice your objections

    movements are only bad when they start to do bad things, like trying to victimize innocent people, or suppress other people's right to express their opinions (and feminism went there a long time ago)

    it may not be the case however, that a strong men's movement will ever emerge. it's just not men's way to do things the way women do, and frankly, women have demonstrated a far greater tendancy toward chauvanism than men have

    Dude, you need to tell your girlfriend that to a point she's right.

    Mass media culture does objectify women, but that's the media, which is something that you never personally bought into.

    Tell her your higher drive for sex than her, has to do with hormone levels not science.

    Tell her "blue balls" does exist, but that it can be handled by a masturbation session, and that you agree that sex should never be used as leverage against a man or a woman.

    Sex is an experience both parties should genuinely enjoy both physically and emotionally because it's fun, and involves a certain level of emotional trust and openness for it to be GOOD/GREAT/AWESOME sex. It's symbolic of the beauty of the relationship not objectifying it.


    Can sex be objectified? Yes. But prove to her that that's not what you're doing with her, she is not a prostitute to you and frankly you resent the notion you think of her as a prostitute and blame her feminist group for interfering in the relationship.

    Also say that if she all along had thought she was being over sexed by you, she should have simply told you directly in words.

    And apologize to her for any actions that she perceived as you pressuring her into sex in the past.

    And end it there. If I were you this is already strike one of 3 in whether I see one of my relationships being able to survive.
