I completely agree with this but I think the uproar is because of their behavior around the fact.

I have preferences too. So do you? Do you go around berating men about not living up to your preferences after YOU asked THEM out?

Do you write article after article about your preferences in a manner that shames other men for desiring differently than you, and women who don’t meet your specs as being disgusting or subhuman?

Do you go around to random men in public waxing poetic about your damn preferences, invading the mental space of whatever man you happen to cross paths with?

And so forth and so on? No? I thought not. Because you are a confident woman who doesn’t have build some pre-fab/fasle front shred of self esteem from putting others down.

Unlike these men who beat that same old tired drum and never fucking shut up about it. Like saying it one more time is suddenly going to make someone give a shit about them.

My response to these men is usually along the lines of, “you’ve got preferences? That’s awesome Buttercup. So does everyone. Most of us keep it to ourselves because, as adults, we realize that doesn’t make us special. What do you want? A God damned cookie?”
