Men also need to get better about taking constructive criticism. (clearly not all men and god I am sick of having to say this)

Too often, women are terrified to go to their partners and say, hey, that just isn't working for me or that didn't bring me to orgasm, or what have you. So can we try this, or this has worked for me in the past, etc.

I have been watching Mad Men (i know, I know, gods the misogyny!) but there was scene where one of the women characters is in bed with her new husband and he's expressed that he is tired. They're just beginning to have sex and she says, "I know you're tired, so let me drive" and it looks like she's giving him a hand job under the sheets and she starts to get on top. He gets completely bent out of shape and says, "Where did you pick that up???" and rolls over away from her and says, "I'm so sorry I don't know everything you want, I am tired." and goes to sleep.

You can tell he's angry and he's accusing her of being "too experienced".

This kind of mindset is something we see a lot out in the world, too. Too experienced, you're a slut. Not experienced enough, you're a nun. Say something? You're offending his manhood.

This is an excellent piece and I hope the right people see it and take it to heart.
