The problem is rather that theirs is literally the only biological reality we ever bother to consider.<p>>It boggles the mind that Sullivan thinks we don't sufficiently consider men's biological reality when our entire society has agreed to organize itself around the pursuit of the straight male orgasm<p>The article addresses a couple real concerns.

When you do that, you get to beat your war drums, but you lose credit to folks that aren't on the same rhythm.
Tl;dr: Many women have painful sex; many more aren't taught how to clearly set, assess and enforce boundaries when it comes to having sex, which means they're left vulnerable to bad experiences of a lesser sort.

Somehow, this proves that those who are concerned that the whole #metoo thing might be getting out of hand are totally wrong and missing the point.
