Not only that, look at the ages of the study groups. Look at what they looked at specifically. Look at how they evaluated.

I truly believe that men and women experience relatively equal levels of sexual frustration over the course of their lives. I could entertain the notion that men tend to experience it more at a younger age and women more at an older age. I can entertain the notion that due to socialization women are generally better at dealing with it because a)they haven't been bombarded with the narrative that you'll go blind if you masturbate and self gratification is the only way many women ever experience sexual pleasure regularly and b) women won't have the added hangup of believing they are entitled to a man's body. Note: that doesn't make the density or frequency of sexual frustration more severe. It might make it last longer and be harder to deal with.

I can even entertain the notion that women probably mistake their sexual frustration as something else because they have the added burden of near ubiquitous medical misogyny in regards to their overall sexual health. Sex with flaring endometriosis is not fun. Imagine the frustration and guilt of wanting it but dreading and fearing thr pain that's going to come with it because you can't get treated or evaluated for a medical condition that is fairly easily fixable. When asked, you're going g tontrack that scenario as frustrations with sex, but as frustration with the medical establishment when in truth, it is both. Think about it.

I can entertain the notion that, like other forms of pain, different individuals have different tolerance levels. And here we stumble into another narrative and run smack into another linguistic sleight of hand. Since women's bodies were "built for pain" and one of the lower status markers of womanhood is a woman's ability to endure pain, then women's sexual frustration must not be as severe as men's. Abracadabra ipso facto Kalamazoo. Poof.

There's no fucking evidence of that. It's bullshit. That's a myth, a belief. It's not fact.

Sexual frustration is not something that's going to be quantified easily.

Simon doesn't have a leg to stand on, even with the extra one. This is irresponsible and once again, he's using that doctorate, in humanities I might add, to add weight to his bullshit beliefs. He should hand back in that ethics doctorate, because that's unethical.
