Should I use “are” or “is” ?
Here is the entire section:
Why do women always blame men for hunting down one woman after another? It is not our fault. We can’t help it. It’s a simple and strong instinct given to us by Mother Nature. And not even the most radical religions are able to control this strong instinct in men. Or women for that matter, but it is usually the male sexuality women and the society are focused on.
Here is my question. Should I use “are” or “is” in the following sentence?
1. option
Or women for that matter, but it is usually the male sexuality women and the society are focused on.
2. option
Or women for that matter, but it are usually the male sexuality women and the society is focused on.
I fell strongest for the 1. option, but Word spell check wants me to use the 2. option???
