Jane Ward, Sexuality Studies Professor at the University of California-Riverside, was recently featured in an Insider article in which she stated, "It really looks like straight men and women don't like each other very much, that women spend so much time complaining about men, and we still have so much evidence of misogyny. From an LGBT perspective, [being straight] looks actually very tragic."
The article, titled “Why heterosexual relationships are so bad for us, according to a sex researcher,” cites an increase in relationship problems among straight couples since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdown -- but says nothing of homosexual couples. Being straight is “very tragic,” and “so bad for us?” That doesn’t seem very welcoming, reassuring and inclusive. In fact, it seems judgmental and intolerant. Condescending. A macroaggression.
Ward also said, "I think in some ways the pandemic is revealing the tragedy of heterosexuality to people who might not have otherwise paid attention to it.” Well, it’s hard to keep track of all the tragedies happening lately. I wonder where The Tragedy of Heterosexuality ranks in comparison to other tragedies such as The Worldwide Pandemic, massive unemployment, the skyrocketing crime and suicide rates, the opioid crisis, terrorism, societal loss of purpose and confidence, etc., etc.?
She told Campus Reform via email that, “Research on heterosexual marital satisfaction over the life course shows that straight couples are struggling to balance work and family obligations, and this leads to frustration and resentment for many straight women, in particular.” Well, gay people and couples do earn more on average than their straight counterparts, and have fewer children to suck up their income, so perhaps they are fairing better in that respect.

In her parents’ case, yes! Heterosexuality was a great tragedy.
“I think in some ways the pandemic is revealing the tragedy of heterosexuality..”
I don’t know if I would call it a tragedy...it’s more like non-existent.
I guess she missed the recent lesbian on lesbian point blank shooting in NYC by a rejected lesbian lover
They are demonizing normality, just like they demonized “Whiteness.” First they demonize, then they eliminate.
Homosexuals cannot physically have children.
Homosexual men and women hate the opposite sex even more.
How high is the rate of "spousal abuse" between Lesbian couples as compared to the general (heterosexual) population, again?
Regards,
Why is there such a thing?
Because real degree programs cost money to run.
Crap degrees are cheap to offer and are high margin.
>>WUT? Sexuality Studies Professor? Why is there such a thing?
It’s so lesbian feminists can persuade young girls to “dabble” in lesbianism as a way to smash the patriarchy.
It’s been that way for over 50 years ever since Kate Millett wrote Sexual Politics.
With the rampant drug abuse, suicidal thoughts and depression, manic violence against their ex-es and stalked targets, let along debasing themselves in “public” by serving as human toilets in 1970s NY etc, that IS a very tragic lifestyle choice.
They used to call theirs an alternative lifestyle.
Now they seek to make it the dominant norm and shove heterosexuality into the closet and shame breeders who dare to have offspring.
Mating is essential to the our survival and over millions of years we have evolved to make it happen politely or not. In the big picture emotions and the odd sexual flavors are a sideshow.
Not that I've ever "studied' under one, but there's lots of them in every town and city. Of course they're usually called hookers.
Or actually very comic. She seems very in tune with what comedians have been saying for years. Unfortunately, the same dynamic applies in homosexual relationships, even in those where the two partners chose each other because they were alike in every way. With time, people irritate each other. When they don't it could be because they have ceased to care or to have any individuality. It's human nature.
This is a familiar gambit though. Homosexuality has often been seen as tragic, so sooner or later, a gay activist would describe heterosexuality as tragic. You can see the same thing with blackness and whiteness. "The Negro" was seen as America's tragedy, and now we hear the same thing about White people, especially White men. You can see the same thing with America as a whole: once we were seen as a supremely fortunate nation, and now the emphasis is on how unfortunate we are.
But really, people say things, and there's no point in getting bent out of shape by the things people say.
What’s tragic is her male father and female mother ever had sex.
Sexuality Studies Professor goes gay?.
There are so many of these wackadoodle “required” classes that the normal 4 year degree is now 4.5 or 5 year now. Follow the $$$$$$$.
I did the old 4 year plan in 3.5 including some extra history classes for fun and graduated at 19. Oh, yeah, and paid for it myself.
Nope. That's old hat. Conservative even.
Normal is evil. That's the party line now. But don't you dare call it "normal", you Nazi.
Also see my tagline below.
The original goal was to up the number of women and minorities in the faculty. Politicians & liberal administrators couldn’t get the numbers they wanted fast enough if it happened the natural way. They allowed fake academic disciplines to be created to get those numbers up. Thoroughly dishonest but better then being called a racist or chauvinist.
