I explained why--because men are NATURALLY held to a higher standard, or at least traditionally they have been. Same with how men are naturally seen as 'sleezy' or 'afraid of commitment' and all that if they sleep around.
If men were held to a higher standard, then it seems that you should be complaining about men sleeping around MORE than you are about women sleeping around!
I'm a woman. I love the idea of sex, but I'm not going to just give it to people because I value sex as something sacred.
So it's the IDEA of sex that you love? I'd rather have the real thing.
Of course, if you view sex as something sacred and only to be shared with certain people, that's fine. But that doesn't mean that people who hold different views to you are wrong.
If you don't value yourself or the intimacy that comes with sexual intercourse, there's no way I can explain what is gained.
How does the intimacy I have with my husband suffer due to me having had sex with other people?
What's wrong with being rewarded with love? What, are the men at the end of the movie going "come over here [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse], you're mine now"? You must live in a pretty awful world.
Go and watch a movie called Kingsman. It ends with the hero having saved the day, and then a woman having sex with him because he's the hero. Her only job is literally to provide sex for the hero because he won. She's a prize. If you don't find that disturbing, then there's nothing else I can say.
Women are harassed much, much more by other women, or by mixed groups, than by men alone when it comes to being told to 'kill yourself'. And you're painting with a pretty wide brush assuming that that many men think you should be raped if you're not just some sex toy. I'll tell you what though--maybe if you other ladies set higher standards when it came to men, you wouldn't end up getting burned so badly. Most men are not as you describe, period.
Nice use of the "not all men" trope.
What percentage of women have been sexually harassed? Now tell me what percentage of men have been sexually harassed. Now tell me who is doing the majority of the harassing of women?
I don't find it threatening. I used to have no problem with women in power...until I started seeing women in power IN ACTION. Sure, not all women are like that--but the ones that get the attention from media are God-awful. All they do is puff up their chest, complain and PANDER to people. Not saying men don't do that too, but it seems to be a lot more common in general with women.
So if a woman uses her power, then you complain.
If you don't see a connection, take a moment to consider that you are possibly part of the group causing the problem.
So let's see...
You said in post 76 that lots of people are lonely and depressed, despite the fact that sexual promiscuity and 'independence' have become more acceptable. This is clearly implying that you think an increase of sexual promiscuity and independence would result in a reduction of depression and loneliness. Thus showing that you think that people are depressed and lonely because they can't get any sex.
In post 79, I asked you to explain why you think this way.
In post 80, you claimed you never said there was a connection. Well, perhaps you didn't come out and say it directly, but you certainly phrased your statement in a way that suggested it strongly. And if you didn't think that there was a connection, your original statement would make no sense. It would be like me saying, "Why do cars crash when the availability of tofu burgers is increasing?"
Since you were clearly suggesting a relationship between depression and sexual promiscuity, I once again asked you to clarify your thoughts on that relationship. Post 91.
Now you are contradicting yourself again by saying that there is a connection, and a very obvious connection. Yet you apparently are unable to explain this connection.
In short, your argument that people should be less lonely if they are having more sex seems to suggest two things:
- You're an incel apologist
- You have no understanding what the real cause of depression and loneliness is.
You're right. A lot of women don't even have the physical strength to handle the recoil of powerful guns. If you want to argue about the biological advantages men have over women, take it up with a biologist. Just because women want 'equality' doesn't mean that we should be putting our troops at a disadvantage because some feminist cried 'patriarchy!'. Did you even consider what the effects of war could have on a woman's psyche? Statistically, women are far more susceptible to cracking under stress and becoming depressed in the same higher positions as men--how do you think a woman is going to deal with the PTSD if MEN even have a hard time with it?
The fact that women are in the army shooting the same guns as men seems to prove you wrong.
And studies have shown that women are actually better than men at coping with stress.
New Research Explains Why Women May Respond Better To Stress
You might want to get some supporting evidence for these claims you make.
I don't like the MAINSTREAM women in power. Some women do fine, but by default, I am skeptical of women being in power. You, for example, I'd never trust in a position of power.
Why not? What do you think I'd do wrong?
