A study in feminism
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
In response to yesterday’s blog conversation, let me just say I do make my own living, but no, I don’t need a cookie for it. Actually, I may have rewarded myself, since my relationships may be healthier because I’m a feminist, according to a study published in Science Daily this week.

According to the study, feminism seems to add to the quality of heterosexual relationships, not detract from it. Furthermore, feminists questioned in the study actually had “more stable relationships and greater sexual satisfaction.”
Does this article fly in the face of stereotypes you had previously associated with feminism? Does being a feminist automatically indicate that your relationships would be rocky or short-lived?
Men, do you typically date women who identify themselves as feminists? Women, do you usually associate yourself with this movement? Why or why not? How does your stance affect your dating life?
