Should You Date a Feminist or date As a Feminist?

By Dr. Paulette Kouffman Sherman. Posted on Sep 3rd 2012.

This article suggests recent research supporting feminist dating.

In the past some men might have associated the term 'Feminist' with an angry woman who hates men. Today the term 'Feminist' hopefully brings up an image of a person (man or woman) who respects women's rights and appreciates independent, strong women.

One study showed 'dating a feminist' is now a turn on and findings revealed that Feminism improves romance and the quality of relationships. Men of feminist partners reported more stable relationships and greater sexual satisfaction.

Men are becoming more attracted to successful, high income and multitalented women and those women are multiplying like wildfire.

Roles are also becoming more diffuse in romantic relationships and in some cases, even reversed.

So I wonder if you have thought about it. How many single men today would love to date a Feminist? How many would call themselves a Feminist?
