Jealousy isn't exclusively male or female, but it's bad for a relationship, regardless of gender.
Complicated relationship, jealous girlfriend13 & 16, 17 & 25, 19 & 38? Do you have a (much) older (or younger) boyfriend, girlfriend or crush? Here are some good questions to ask yourself when your partner is markedly older than you are to see if it does matter, and more importantly, if it's really okay, balanced and healthy.
Age-disparate basics ("Does age matter?")It's so infrequent men are really talked to about rape, particularly in terms of what they can do to prevent it and how direly we need there help, and it's also often challenging for men, especially in male culture, to really, truly and fully take a stand against rape and sexual violence, and to deconstruct and reconstruct masculinity issues or roles which support or enable rape.
This thread is here to talk about all of these issues, ask any questions you might have, and to provide support for men who want to stand against rape and/or for women wondering how they can help. - Heather

Summertime remindersWhile porn absolutely has its issues, and absolutely can create conflicts -- and for those who do not want it in their partnership or lives, having it appear is obviously a big problem -- porn seems to be something put forth as THE issue, when often not only are other issues at play, but really, they're often more serious issues.
Is it really just about porn?*No way, they're for everyone! But they do seem to be marketed towards a more male-oriented audience and feature more staring heroes than leading heroines. However, the men in video games are usually quite unrealistically depicted; they have bulging muscles where the women have bulging... other things. A discussion for boys, girls, and everyone above, beyond and in-between, on the ideals of masculinity and femininity in gaming!
