In a mildly bizarre coincidence men in the West are enraged that women in Afghanistan should be obliged to fulfil their husband's sexual desire while women in the West are enraged by a writer suggesting that western women should fulfil their husband's sexual desire and 'just do it' regardless.
What I find funny is the implication Afghani men are insatiable, rapacious beasts, but Western men are misunderstood, disappointed objects of pity who just "want to connect" with their partners. When it comes to sex (outside of a small number of deviants) men are men aren't they?
(This isn't a prompt to discuss compulsion versus voluntarism or collectivist, moral relativism:-))

Men are men, but depending on where you come from the language and context of your masculinity and sexuality are going to be different.
The bloke who started Jim's Mowing wrote a book about this. He reckoned sexual appetites are up just after a war, for example. If we can have a post war baby boom then I can see why the Afghan bloke's reproductive instincts might be on high presently.
Men are men no matter where you come from. Some treat their ladies with respect and some dont.
If I do wrong, my woman gives me a thrashing. You would be suprised how often I stuff up just so I can feel the lash of my womans loving tongue.

"men in the West are enraged that women in Afghanistan should be obliged to fulfil their husband's sexual desire"
I think you will find that not only men but also a lot of women (and proportionally more of the latter) were enraged about that. I don't completely get your point though - are you implying that men and women are enraged for different reasons? Women because it is pretty enraging to have your sexuality dictated to you by the law and men because they think that they are so great that women will come to them every fourth day (at least) without such a law?
If I was being cynical, is it just a new take on the saying that men use intimacy to get sex? The new take could be men appear politically correct to get their end away?(To upset some, the other half of the saying is women use sex to get intimacy).
