Women more sexually empowered?
There is an interesting debate that started over at Huffington Post and I heard about on Q100’s The Bert Show. It is centered around the questions: Do women now have a sexual advantage? Are women more sexually empowered than men?
Since women are earning more, staying single longer, and are generally living on their own terms, our sex lives are drastically different. Somehow this translates to a sexual advantage.
There is something about sexual empowerment being connected to economics that bothers me, but I understand the point that is being made. The idea is that there is some type of advantage in being a female today with more money, power, and freedom to make choices.
What I wonder though is how can one truly qualify or quantify sexual empowerment? Perhaps I am over thinking this, what are your thoughts?
Is sexual empowerment in men and women something that can truly be compared? Especially considering all of the different/double standards society hold for men and women?

Good afternoon everyone.
Women have always been more sexually empowered. Many wars have been fought over a woman. Some use this power the wrong way, while others bask in the power and dispenses it rightfully and with much vigor.

EXACTLY who I was thinking about when I started typing that, cba. As a DGD and a Falcons fan, I’m not shedding a single tear. I think it’s unfortunate, and I feel sorry for his family, but not for him.

Afternoon All,
American women have gained empowerment in almost every facet of life over time. Why wouldn’t that also include sexual empowerment? I wouldn’t say they are more empowered than Men as a whole but the opportunity for them based on factors given in the topic as well as your posts does exist. Whether a Woman chooses to act on that is entirely her choice based on her beliefs and position in life. I don’t knock a Woman for doing so either way.
Personally I know me, whether she is empowered or not she still has to have a well rounded balance to her being to even get a tryout.

Cheating has been here as long as the world been standing. I don’t get folks acting shock when it happens. Not in this case but IJS. It ain’t right but it sure ain’t nothing new.

Petrino got fired because he’s a dumbazz. He didn’t give Karma a chance to catch up with him. This dummy hired his gf to work in the Athletic dept. That alone opened up the Univ to Harassment liability. Then the dummy lied to his boss and didn’t come clean. This dude is just a dummy all the way around. The cheating part is between him and his wife. I am sure she’s not shocked. Embarrased but not shocked.
