"Women don't like that sort of thing."

"Motherhood is the crowning glory of a woman's life."

"Children and relationships mean more to women than to men."

"A woman is most feminine when she is with her man."

We've all heard variations on these themes, ad infinitum, ad nauseum. The hard part is that some of them contain a grain of truth wrapped in a lie:

Girls(sic) do need love. But so do men, and anyone who thinks that girls don't want sex as well is pretty behind the times.

Motherhood is a wonderful achievement in a woman's life. But is fatherhood no more crucial? Are there no other ways a woman can achieve?

A woman is feminine when she's with her man. She's also feminine with her friends, by herself, or playing with the dog. A woman cannot but be feminine.

Many of the above statements solemnly handed down like tablets from the mountain hinge on one or more of the following assumptions:

•Women are not interested in sex. We do not feel lust, or physical desire as profoundly as men do.

•Women are not interested in such "shallow" things as looks.

•Women are always with men, and are incomplete otherwise.

In other words, women are non-lustful, and always straight. Or else they are not women. If we are, then we are called by a number of things that supposedly un-sex us. Whores. Lesbians. Often both of these at once.
