If Women Do Have Lower Libidos, It Would Make Sense
By Amanda Marcotte, RH Reality Check. Posted February 18, 2009.

The word slut describes women, not men. We still live in a world where Good Girls Don't. No wonder many women have trouble being sexual.

Another Valentine's Day, another round of features on sex and love, and another bout of studiously ignoring the role sexism might play in diminishing women's sexual desire. Consumer Reports published a sex poll, and once again women's on-average lower sexual desire is treated as an unfortunate but largely inexplicable phenomenon.  In this, they stuck to the mainstream media trend of talking about women's desire -- the lack of it, really -- without addressing any social causes for why that might occur.  Most media outlets treat women's desire as a free-standing, unchangeable misfortune brought on by fate or biology, but certainly not worth exploring in depth.
