I wouldn't pin it on feminism, as this isn't written within the feminist movement. It's written by a psych prof and a marketing prof. (Few mentions of "feminist" in the paper, and it's even dismissed: "Indeed, many feminist analyses of sexual behavior (e.g., Brownmiller, 1975) suffer from reliance on the highly questionable assumption that men’s treatment of women is motivated by a primary concern with power, with sex being secondary.")

Furthermore, I've heard from anthropologists that inhabitants of more feminist societies tend to be more satisfied with their (more frequent) sex lives. After all, successful patriarchy movements turn sex sick. However, I'm not going to hunt a cite about sex for an HN post, so believe what you will. :)

Definitely agree with viewing everything though the lens of commerce though. Free market fundamentalism is the US's greatest religion. Its ivory-tower priests are forever trying to recast everything into capitalist theology. Its holy wars are primarily to secure economic obedience.
