Here's a thought... What if men don't actually want to harm women?

What if they never did?

Professor Janice Fiamengo examines feminism's founding documents and reveals a truth that should be good news, but many refuse to hear it.

Is feminism really about equality? Professor Janice Fiamengo examines the historical evidence, victim mentality, and how feminist ideology harms marriages.

19/01/2026

Professor Janice Fiamengo reveals an uncomfortable truth: when evidence shows that men genuinely care about women's wellbeing and want them to flourish, many women reject this as a challenge to their victim identity.

"They take deep exhilarating pleasure in seeing themselves as victims."

Do victim narratives prevent the very connection we claim to want?

The question isn't whether men care because overwhelming evidence shows they do.
The question is: are we willing to receive that good news?

Why S*xual Intimacy Between Parents Helps Children Feel Secure

In this video, I explore why a warm, affectionate s*xual bond between parents influences children’s sense of safety, emotional stability, and resilience and why this is good for society at large. 👉 Work with me or my team: https://laurahow.com/online-therapists/

Drawing on attachment theory, family systems research, and long-term outcome studies, I explain how children thrive when they grow up in homes where parents are affectionate, playful, and s*xually connected, rather than distant, tense, or living as polite roommates.

We’ll look at why children cope better with stress when they know their parents’ relationship is solid, how marital and s*xual satisfaction predicts better mental health outcomes for children, and why the long-term decline in s*xual intimacy may be part of a wider disconnection epidemic affecting families and society.

This video is for couples in fundamentally safe, loving relationships who want to understand why prioritising s*xual intimacy is not selfish or indulgent, but protective for their children and stabilising for the whole family system.

In this video:
✔️ How s*xual intimacy between parents affects children’s emotional security
✔️ Why the couple’s s*xual bond is central to family stability
✔️ What attachment research tells us about safety and resilience
✔️ The link between s*xual satisfaction, marital warmth, and children’s wellbeing
✔️ What happens in families when s*x disappears from the relationship
✔️ Why s*xual connection softens conflict and strengthens teamwork
✔️ Practical ways to rebuild s*xual intimacy without minimising real challenges

So many couples struggle with mismatched desire or s*xual avoidance. Most think the problem is desire itself. But often, the issue is a breakdown in care, and a missing framework for how to show up for each other when desire isn’t spontaneous or equal.

This is where s*xual communal strength can help. It’s a research backed way to rebuild connection, reduce resentment, and move couples towards greater intimacy.

I’ve written a new blog that explains what it is, how it works in real relationships, and why generous responsiveness matters far more than spontaneous desire.

For women with low spontaneous desire, s*xual communal strength offers a path to nurture responsive desire and create a more connected, fulfilling marriage.

11/12/2025

Many couples struggle with desire differences, s*xual avoidance, and even s*xless marriages.

S*xual communal strength gives you a research backed way to rebuild intimacy and deepen emotional connection.

Small acts of s*xual generosity can bring life back into a marriage that feels flat, and help both partners feel wanted again.

Many couples struggle with desire differences, low libido, and the emotional distance that follows.

This video explores how s*xual communal strength (the willingness to meet your partner's s*xual needs because you value the relationship) can transform intimacy and help couples feel close again.

So many people say, “S*x is just a want, not a need.”

But imagine saying the same about affection, respect, or trust.

The truth is, s*x isn’t optional in a healthy marriage, it’s a core emotional need. Without it, relationships slip into roommate territory.

When both partners feel desired, cherished, and connected, marriage thrives. 💞

👉 Do you agree that s*x is a need in marriage? Let me know in the comments.
