Well Whoda Thunk.

Go figure. Apparently feminists and their partners have better relationships than the rest of y'all

a new study shows that having a feminist partner is linked with healthier, more romantic heterosexual relationships.

Hereby follows a translation of the "news" article into actual English.
The study, published online this week in the journal Sex Roles, relied on surveys of both college students and older adults, finding that women with egalitarian attitudes do find mates and men do find them attractive.

Science Shows Women Who Consider Themselves Human Aren't Ugly!!!

College-age women who reported having feminist male partners also reported higher quality relationships that were more stable than couples involving non-feminist male partners.

Surprisingly, men who think women are human beings are nicer to be with! Who knew?

College guys who were themselves feminists and had feminist partners reported more equality in their relationships.

Wow! Men who respect women and who date women who respect themselves are more likely to have relationships that involve respect!

Older women who perceived their male partners as feminists reported greater relationship health and sexual satisfaction.

Even old chicks have sex, one; and two, old chicks who date or live with guys who respect women are more likely to have actually decent sex and not have to put up with bullshit, including their own seething resentment of having to do all the housework.

Older men with feminist partners said they had more stable relationships and greater sexual satisfaction.

Dudes who date or live with self-respecting women are less likely to have to deal with game-playing, seething resentment, or women who have hangups about sex.

Overall, feminism and romance do go hand in hand, the scientists say.

I'm SO GLAD science proves that feminists don't hate men. 'Cause god knows, my own personal experience and that of all my friends sure would never have suggested that was the case.

Wow go figure. Treating women well and respect from both parties (for themselves and their partners) actually works!

It's like reporting on common sense. It's sad that people fail to realize this fact in the first place.

Well Whoda Cares? What scares me is that people get paid to come up with this... I'm totally in the wrong profession.
