#heterosexual relationships#love#romance#barbara ryan#beyond embarrassment: feminism and adult heterosexual love#long post#i don't 100% agree with the author but i think this is still worth a read... she makes a few good points#the part about how women can and should help their male partners become better feminists... that is definitely eye roll inducing#BUT it is important to leave the echo chamber and engage with texts that aren't 100% supportive of your worldview. expand your perspective!#personally i am much more in agreement with separatists but i don't think hostility (on either side) is the right approach#sorry to be cynical but i don't think we're ever going to be able to convince women to give romancing men up#i don't know what the right approach is though#it's so nuanced... even 30 years after this was written we're still having this exact same debate here on tumblr...
