Feminists. Unattractive, sexually frustrated, single lesbians who rant and yell and generally disrupt the lives of those around them. Right?
Apparently not. A new study at Rutgers University found that women with male feminist partners had healthier heterosexual relationships; the same was true of men with feminist partners, with the added perk of greater sexual satisfaction. Feminists were no more likely than non-feminist women to be single, lesbian, or sexually unattractive.
You heard me right. Date a feminist, have a good sex life. And even a healthy, stable relationship.
So now it’s up to you to choose between the girl who does your dishes and the girl who blows your mind in bed. The girl who looks hot for you and the girl who looks hot for herself. Betty Crocker and Angelina Jolie. Jerry Falwell and Matthew Broderick.
I feel like this should not be a time-consuming decision.
So everyone, male or female, straight or gay, it’s time to step up to the plate. Stop complaining about Penn girls’ attractiveness, realize that a great conversation with an intelligent, self-respecting guy or girl can be a good thing, (don’t look for that girl tomorrow night, as odds are she’ll be hiding in a skimpy disguise,) and go date a hot, sexually satisfying feminist. ‘Cause who can say no to that much fun?
(Alas, if you’re one of those hot, sexually satisfying feminists who thinks all this sounds like total patriarchal BS, you can check out the feminist rebuttal here.)

I can’t even begin to digest the irony of that billboard. Come to think of it, feminism as a whole is just one big paradox.

Great satire, Lindsey!
oh, wait, you were serious…

Wait, what? That was… incoherent. “Betty Crocker and Angelina Jolie” is referring to what, exactly? Furthermore, in the next paragraph, you address “male or female, straight or gay,” then you clearly refer to females as the target of pursuit. And what exactly is your call to “step up to the plate”? Step up to the plate because Penn guys are failing in their duty to hit on girls? Maybe on you…
These are usually pretty bad, but this was just nonsensical.

i would just like to cite Nina Hartley as a famous feminist who was most certainly considered sexually attractive. feminism doesn’t exist in Cyprus where I live, that’s why I cannot agree or disagree whether feminists are “hotter” or “uglier” than the rest of the female population

No Feminists in Cyprus? That might come as a shock to this organisation for a start!
