Finally, there’s some research to back up your “Feminists-do-it-better” T-shirt. According to this piece in the Globe and Mail, two academics at Rutgers University set out to bust the stereotype that feminists are “romantically challenged” in heterosexual love and lust.
Make of this what you will, but their study found that women who identify as feminist are more likely than women who don’t to be dating or married, and that “men and women with feminist partners tend to be happier with their relationships and more satisfied with their sex lives.”
Pretty cool study. Also cool to see it on the front page of the Globe‘s Life section — it’s pretty to see the F-word in a headline.

Ah Nicole, you beat me to it! I was just about to pen an entry on this same story.
Obviously you gotta take studies like this with a grain or two of salt - it's just a rough measure of how satisfied people say they are, not necessarily a measure of how satisfied they actually are.
But it certainly is nice to see my belief that feminists are better in bed confirmed. And come on, you can't ask for a better lede: "Want a better sex life? Date a feminist."
Word.
