I'd say this is true in some contexts, not universally but there's definitely merit to the idea. Generally speaking, feminism has allowed women to build communities centered on solidarity and mutual respect. Men haven't really talked about those things, at least not on the level of a social movement on the level of feminism, and perhaps that's the next step to take in order to secure gender equality.

NOTE: I do acknowledge that men are still far ahead of women in many economic/political ways - they earn more, hold more positions of power and aren't subject to the same level of sexual scrutiny that women are. I'm not quite sure how that fits into this discussion, and I'm open to hearing more about it.

If we're generally speaking...From Wikipedia about libido: "Biologically, levels of hormones such as testosterone are believed to affect sex drive; social factors, such as work and family, also have an impact; as do internal psychological factors, like personality and stress."

(honest question) Do you think that it's purely social pressures and influence that make prostitution far more common for women than men?

*looks around for rocks, finds none*

Thanks for bringing that up, actually - it's true that hormones affect men and women differently and that should be taken into consideration when discussing gender equality. I don't think it's fair to say that men who either don't want to have sex or channel their sex drive through other ways are somehow lesser, though, which feels like what the writer is implying with this entire statement.

Regarding your question - I don't think it's purely social pressures and influence, but I...I honestly don't know. I'd wager that one really big part of it is that men who have lots of sex are more accepted by society than women who have lots of sex, which makes it a lot easier to succeed as a female prostitute than as a male prostitute. It's not the only cause, but it's something.
