Normalizing culturally engendered differences

When a Woman's Libido Slows, Is It a Result of 'Disorders,' Boredom or Is It Normal? | Alternet

Really, people have to stop yanking at themselves and pretending it is science.   The more culturally engendered gender differences are explained away, the further we get from the truth.  Take this, for instance:

When Dr. Bella Ellwood-Clayton began to research female sexual desire, she found a commonality among women in long-term relationships -- one that many of us can surely relate to. While, initially, women’s libidos tended to match their male partners', as the relationship progressed, sex fell lower and lower on the list of priorities.

Another manufactured myth to make old biddies feel better about their trampled lives.
