OUTLINE

  • Explain why polarity and sexual tension are essential to the health of romantic relationships.
    • Exciting sex naturally involves a good amount of dominance, submission, and power
    • Women like men who do manly things, although they don’t want to be oppressed by it
    • Polarity emphasizes clear definitions of what it means to be a man and a woman, in line with predominant social constructions
    • “Soft” men are usually seen as less desirable; many women prefer a natural aggressiveness in sexual matters
  • Identify the three phases Terry says are necessary for women to get what they want out of relationships with men.
    • Daring to rock the boat: being upfront and confrontational about your needs and desires
    • Helping him out: teaching your partner how to be your partner
    • Making it worth his while: reducing complaining and giving positive reinforcement and encouragement
  • Describe three ways in which Millennials have reinterpreted gender roles.
    • Millennials are especially gender progressive
    • Millennial women aren’t pushing for a worthwhile career, they expect a worthwhile career
    • Millennial men are more comfortable performing tasks traditionally allotted for women, such as raising children and doing housework
    • Millennial men are more expressive and emotional, attributes traditionally associated with women
