So while I am supposed to be at work attempting to locate an author who has not yet cashed his royalty check, I came across this article on the George Mason University’s homepage. The article regarding marriage summarizes a study conducted by Mason sociologist Shannon Davis. The results of this study show that while a […]

Okay, so I don’t want to be infantilizing at all here: I think young women are totally entitled to their sexuality and it is really dissapointing how our society assumes that young women should be asexual until marriage or age 30 (it’s okay if it’s a choice, but pushing asexuality on women can be really […]
