Most woman here tend to agree with woman on similar things, but this role you spoke of that is sterotyped here is actually true and backed up on fact, that men watch more porn than women. As for Doggie-Style, well, women here agree, and I'd post proof, but the site I found it on has specific techniques also being described.

Sorry if I missed the point of your post somewhere.

I don't understand what your point is Swedish women watch more porn than men, whereas North American women watch less porn than men. This can be viewed as a marker of the more gender equal society we have in Sweden, compared to North America. Sweden is the most gender equal country in the world according to a number of international reports, for instance the UN conduct gender equality investigations regularly.

The "Dark Ages" was a joke term introduced by DW in her post to me above, which I think clearly is a joke judging from the smilies. If you are offended by this expression I am sorry. If this had been a completely serious discussion I would simply have stated that Sweden is more gender equal than North America (and the rest of the world). As you can see in my post, the joke about Dark Ages was not associated only to gender equality but also to views on nudity and sexual explicitness. In any case, if we are to discuss porn consumption as a marker for gender equality, I think the article you just posted provide evidence that there is a gender differences in North America that does not exist in Sweden. Thus, I don't at all understand how your article showing that North American women consume less porn than men shows that the "Dark Ages" I was referring to does not exist? It seems like one of your usual "reading to quick and misunderstanding the point"-events Or is it I who is reading to quickly and misunderstanding your point?
