Today I am angry at The Ethical Slut.

I've been struggling with some jealousy issues lately, so I thought I'd peruse its relevant sections.

Confession: I have never read the Ethical Slut before. By the time it was published, I'd been in an open relationship for several years, and it was working just fine, so I never bothered.

It has some good advice (not just on jealousy). It also has some really annoying moments.

For example, on competitive feelings. Basically, it says, "competition is icky and wrong! We're all unique individuals and once you learn to appreciate that, competitive feelings will seem so silly! You can't compare apples and oranges! Don't you feel enlightened now?"

In other words, right in the middle of a bunch of babble about acknowledging your feelings and opening yourself up to them, it more or less shames you for feeling this particular one.

Thanks a lot.
