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.

Every issue she has with “straight” people relationships exists in same sex relationships, theres never balanced equity across the board.
Who hasn’t played lets guess who’s the Alpha in a same sex relationship lol
I looked her up. She’s kind of over in the far right hand corner of the Crazy / Hot scale. Above the diagonal line, if you know what I mean.
Yah,I recall having seen a photo or video of her in which she was rather good looking.
How far off the beam can anyone get?
Academia suffers from a glut of nutty professors.
How long would a Harvard Professor last if they said the same thing about HOMOSEXUALITY?
Heterosexuality is tragic in the sense that a deep marriage relationship is one of the most powerful forces in human life, and the loss of it by death or separation nearly kills many of those who experience it. In the case of the death of a long-term spouse, the surviving spouse is at a greater risk for illness and death soon after. In the case of separation, it leaves a devastating wound in the children. All the marxist social revisionism in the world cannot change this deep force of nature.
The future is nursing homes packed with lonely homos.
Nasty self absorbed people to the core.
‘Cause college ain’t what it used to be! College has outlived its usefulness. There has to be a better way to prepare people for careers. As for education, that is available to anyone who is serious about it. You don’t need a Marxist professor to tell you how to think or what to read.
“WUT? Sexuality Studies Professor? Why is there such a thing?”
Maybe because she can’t tell the difference between male and female.
Good point. ROI. Like “Plastics”.
damn her profile is just ugly, and the write up about herself is just as ugly
