Two young women researchers are calling for a new form of sexual ethics that would allow women to have casual sex without feeling that they're "sluts".
They say the popular view of women as either promiscuous or passive victims has failed to reduce incidents of rape and sexual assault.
Instead, they want both women and men to think about what each of them really wants out of a sexual encounter, and negotiate how to get it.
You know I don't feel that I have supported scientific research enough.
I am going to send these two young women a check.
Hah! "negotiate how to get it" ... all in the name of science! Well let's see, in a successful negotiation, both parties feel as though they've won. This usually means neither party had to give up what was most important to them. Your mission is to find out what is most important to the other party, knowing that if you satisfy that, everything else is up for discussion (I almost said grabs, but that sounded too tacky). This message brought to you by Stephen Covey.
