Dan Savage, the best advice columnist, ever

I adore Dan Savage, and his advice column, Savage Love, is an inspiration for me, though I have a long way to go before I can even fantasize about being in his league. So, this evening, I'd like to point you all to an excellent (and long) interview with him, which you can find here, at the A.V. Club, including this:

You wonder why straight guys are all so endlessly perverse. Like I said earlier, all the poo-eaters are guys. And it's just because there's so much more pressure laid on men about male sexuality that just squeezes out in weird, perverse ways. It's kind of tragic. It's also tragic that straight guys have so little access to sex ... And it just put complete responsibility for sex on the men in those relationships. And men do sort of bear all responsibility—whatever's going wrong is completely their fault, women are always the victims. I just think there's no respect for male sexuality in this empathy culture that's shaped by and defined by a female perspective on relationships and emotions.
