Keep pulling that thread, you are very close to discovering something about yourself worth working on! You may not want to figure it out in public though.
This snark is unoriginal and I don't think it's constructive. It certainly falls far short of calmly pointing out what you think is important.

> What the Hell is this? Of course they're "entitled" to their own bodies. The author didn’t mention bodies, but minds. The author wrotes the men said they would not even “date” a black woman The men presumably are attracted to women, but said they would not date a woman of black skin > One of them mentioned he wouldn’t date a black woman. > Are they entitled to have this preference
You're trying to defend someone who wants to use the language of social justice to pressure others into sex. Pressuring someone into sex is disgusting, and horrible, and it doesn't matter who's doing it or why.
Some day an honest conversation about how in our current internet landscape boys learn about sex through consuming hardcore pornography before they even kiss someone and whether that's something we want as a society needs to happen.
Not sure there's a choice. The allure of the taboo draws people in, even when they are not interested in the acts themselves.
We should instead tailor education to assume that boys and girls will find a way to access porn.
Vouched for this because I don't see any reason why this was flagged. Sorry if I overlooked something.
Because social studies scare HN readers. Okay I'm half joking, but this crowd of people is simply incapable of having such discussions without the thread turning into a pile of garbage very quickly because of a no-no word in the title. (Not talking about the word sex, but feminism.) I love having such discussions, but it's not happening here for my own sanity.
There's the usual torturing of definitions of word that pisses me off on HN (like when someone tried to convince people that flying is like running except you don't touch the ground) but in this thread there are weird accusations of call to rape based on the worst interpretation possible of an excerpt of the article.
It kinda put into perspective (and in a negative light) all the other posts that deals with philosophy or social issues.
> In college, I was with a group of white men and the topic of dating came up. One of them mentioned he wouldn’t date a black woman. To my shock, the rest of the group agreed with him. We say that nobody is entitled to a relationship with someone else, but I was still disgusted. Are they entitled to have this preference, when it comes to something as personal as dating and sex? What the Hell is this? Of course they'r…

What the fuck, I was totally caught off guard by the comments in this post.

date != sex
I think it's fair to say that for this book dating implies having sex, since it's peak intimacy. The title starts with "The Right to Sex" and the article mentions sex a lot.
There’s dates without sex and sex without dates
Dating implies a lot of things: relationships, sex and a path for love, marriage, family
