Women are intricately designed for attachment - connection - bonding, on the physical, emotional and spiritual level. Even on the intellectual level: it's how we're made.

And this article says women had it better under a Communist dictarorship because they had easy divorce, ubiquitous abortions (8-10 per lifetime), and a free "day orphanage" (Detsky Dom) for the tender newborns that survived: no ties that bind (except to the State?)

Yeah, trash the attachment, undermine the connection, neutralize the bonding, and then, sweet lady, fulfillment is yours!

This "researcher" know nothing about the nature of a human, and less than nothing about, specifically, the nature of a woman.

You forgot the /sarc tag.

I doubt Aristophanes would be happy that the "Lysistrata" card is being, er, attempted to be, played this way.

There are reasons doctors prefer their own diagnosis over asking the patient what’s wrong - people lie all the time in answers to professionals inquiring about their status.

One of the jokes out of the USSR was a Soviet wife wanting to have sex, but the husband was too drunk, so after berating him, she flings open the apartment window and shouts about "needing a real man".

Of of the male passerbys below shouts up "I'm a real man!" The woman yells back "C'mon up!" He yells back "You got vodka?"

But did the men? I’m old enough to remember when most of the women looked like stevedores in babushkas and spent most of their time pouring asphalt on the pockmarked roads.

“It could be the potato soup and bread that I feed her?”
******************************************
I trust you make her wait in line for a couple of hours for the bread & insist that the potato soup is always “thin” and made of old, soft, sprouted potatoes? That will certainly heighten her carnal desire & excitement — as you likely already know.

No joke, even the average guy sees right through this crap article. When I was in college 20 years ago, the idiotic general ed classes that I was forced to attend extolled how the Russians were better off under communism than capitalism. I got slammed repeatedly for calling BS on that. These people lived like livestock for 80 years (then) and capitalism takes the hit for not magically turning everything around. The answer is that the same people and the same system are still in place, they’re just calling it something else! That’s one of the biggest sins of Bill Clinton: squandering the Cold War victory and supporting corrupt communist thugs instead of the people that would provide true reform to a country that desperately needs it.

Comrade Sister, you will tell the Western media puppets that you have extraordinary sexual life here in our socialist paradise. In all things, we are superior. Do you understand?

“In the 1930s, Joseph Stalin reversed much of the Soviet Union’s early progress in women’s rights — outlawing abortion and promoting the nuclear family.”

In summary, communism good, democracy bad. Just ask the millions of people purposely starved to death or worked to death in the Gulag.

If life expectancy was greater in East and marriage was delayed, the comparison may not be valid.

No; the communists love democracy. It’s the constitutional republic they hate. Even the Communist Manifesto says that the purpose of the “proletariat’s” rise to power is to “win the battle of democracy”.
