When is dysfunction not dysfunction?
I've seen this story all over the blogs---according to ACOG, 44% of women suffer from sexual dysfunction, usually low desire. But only 12% said it bothered them. Which makes a reasonable person wonder if, in a world where we respected women's opinion of themselves as we respect men's opinion, we wouldn't be showing that only 12% of women have sexual problems. In fact, it seems that the researchers themselves are open about how we frame the expectations put on women in terms of what men want.
