Belief (Example)
• Partner is predestined (Your ideal partner is out there).
• Right away, you know (Love happens at first sight).
• Expression not necessary (Your ideal partner will just know what you're thinking/feeling).
• Sexual perfection (Sex with your soulmate is always easy and satisfying).
• Centerfolds preferred (Women should look like models to attract their male partners).
• Role of gender (or "real men") (Men should always be taller, more powerful, richer, and older than their female partners).
• Into a prince (from beast) (Love can change a man into an ideal partner).
• Pugilism = passion (Fighting is a sign of love and passion).
• Totally opposite values (Love will overcome differences in values).
• Incomplete without mate (Your ideal partner completes you and fills your needs).
• Often, actors = roles (Actors are just like the characters they portray).
• Not real/no effect (You're not affected by media per trails of romance because you know they're not "real.")

Infertility: an inability to become pregnant after 12 months of regular unprotected sexual intercourse
- Note the heterosexist assumptions in this widely-accepted definition.
- Approximately 1 in 10 women experience infertility.
- About half seek medical intervention.
- Age affects fertility in both women and men.
Women with infertility often experience stress, grief, anger, shame, and anxiety.
Social mothers: women who take on the motherhood role through social (rather than biological) means, including adopting, fostering, or becoming a stepmother
Assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs): techniques for treating infertility, including IUI, IVF, and surrogacy
Intrauterine insemination (IUI): a treatment for infertility by which washed and concentrated sperm are injected directly into the uterus at the time of ovulation
In vitro fertilization (IVF): a treatment for fertility by which egg production is stimulated, several eggs are extracted, the egg is fertilized with sperm outside of the body, and one or more embryos are implanted after fertilization has taken place
Surrogacy: a treatment for infertility in which one woman is contracted to bear a child for another woman
- Some individuals choose to travel to other countries for fertility treatment, particularly a low-cost surrogacy.
- Some people see this practice as exploitative, because of the power differential between wealthy people hiring poor
surrogates.
- Oftentimes, the women hired to be surrogates see it as a personal choice that can provide significant income not otherwise available to them.
Situational Coule Violence
• Eli Finkel organizes influences on SCV into instigating triggers that cause one or both partners to be frustrated or on edge, impelling influences that make it more likely that the partners will experience violent impulses, and inhibiting influences that encourage the partners to refrain from acting on those impulses.
• Both impelling and inhibitory influences could be distal, dispositional, relational, or situational.
1) distal: cultural
norms, economic conditions, family experiences.
2) relational: current state of the couple
3) dispositional: persoanlity traits and beliefs
4) situational: immediate circumstances
• SCV begins with instigating factors (jealousy)
• when someone's on edge, the impelling influences come into play: violent family background, high neuroticism, poor comm skills and mismatched attachment styles.
• inhibiting influences such as self control, flexible cultural norms, and
conscientiousness
Intimate Terrorism
• influences are enduring and chronic
• harms -> to keep partners from leaving
• often anti-social or narcissistic
• violent family / traditional gender role background
• terrorists have low self-esteem, feel intellectually inferior to partners, affected by poverty
