As anybody who has read this blog will know, I’m not one for posts with not a lot of research and documents backing it up. However, the following issue is very close to my heart, as I have a friend who has experienced something very similar. We’ll call her Caitlin, for the purposes of this post.
The following is a reaction to a Feministing post on comments made by Dennis Prager about how a wife should have sex with her husband even though she doesn’t feel like it. Or to quote the man himself:
It is an axiom of contemporary marital life that if a wife is not in the mood, she need not have sex with her husband. Here are some arguments why a woman who loves her husband might want to rethink this axiom.
…
First, women need to recognize how a man understands a wife’s refusal to have sex with him: A husband knows that his wife loves him first and foremost by her willingness to give her body to him. This is rarely the case for women. Few women know their husband loves them because he gives her his body
This is just disgusting. “Give her body to him” and “gives her his body”, because sex is a commodity, right? To be given and taken and sold and traded and bought.
