this "Summer Without Sex" article's focus on celibacy as a path to wellness/happiness and means to fight the patriarchy reads as... misguided??? 1. article conveniently forgets the female-sexual-empowerment-as-a-means-to-fight-the-patriarchy movement 2. which (along with traditional gender norms and the desire to fit in with peers) influences women to have unwanted, consensual sex 3. unwanted, consensual sex is associated with lower happiness (for both men and women) 4. meanwhile, it is well established that people who have more sex and better quality sex are happier 5. strongest moderator of sex quality is relationship closeness and the happiness maximizing # of sexual partners is 1 6. therefore women optimizing for happiness should not necessarily aspire for a summer without sex, but instead for a summer without unwanted sex OR with sex with the right person idk what the patriarchy has to do with it https://www.thecut.com/article/women-celibate-dating-sex.html

The website didn't load for me but. From your post I think the patriarchy is mentioned due to some cultures. That the parents look down on their children if they aren't virgen. But it's interesting how different cultures are following the same awful idea
