Woman loses lawsuit over "Girls Gone Wild" video.

[Dotard]

Yes it did.

No it doesn't. Of course in your warped sexist view...

Let a man (and perhaps even a woman) say one tiny critical thing about any woman, and if Elio is within earshot she will pulverize him in defense of womanhood in general.

You are not the first women I've ever heard not "get it" when it comes to what men really want and need from women. I absolutely hate the stereotype of men as unrestrainedly horny beasts in a perpetual state of rut. It bites us both ways. First, any sexual accusation toward us is automatically believed. And, second, a whole lot of women have totally lost track of the connection between their part of the mating dance and men's response. Thus we get women playing turn-on games with no intention whatsoever of following through - so that they can play the victim - at the same time we have women who really do deal with us as though we were flesh and blood vibrators who should "turn on" just because they show up and want us turned on.

I still have a lot of the egalitarian idealism in me, and I have no particular desire to be "head" and would be perfectly happy with a fair and equal relationship - if such a thing were possible. One difficulty is that someone does have to have the tie-breaking vote in cases of sincere disagreement.

However the larger and more poisonous issue is shown by the joke: "If a man speaks in the forest, and there is no woman there to correct him, is he still wrong?"

What I have noticed among women in my 48 years, is that they are so paranoid about being "dominated" that they react with an obsessive-compulsive need to argue with every word which comes out of a man's mouth. It is totally tiresome and completely destructive because it destroys any real communication or cooperation, and turns dealing with women into an exhausting ordeal.

The result of this is that all the emotional needs that men used to get met through sex - the intimacy and connection - no longer get met in any way. Sex has become very mechanical and impersonal. Sex a lot of the time turns out to feel mostly like masturbation with an accomplice, who turns out to be someone you really don't like all that much.

It seems to me the convergence of these problems - the fact that women don't seem to start to get things figured out until about age 35, coincides quite tragically with the time that male ardor begins to significantly cool. Under the old structure of marriage, a couple would have had about 15 years by then to become friends and partners, and that would begin to pay dividends as they matured.

Under timetable of "career first, then children, husband optional" by the time a man has had 15-20 years of complete female self absorption, he has grown some very thick calluses over those emotional parts of himself where bonding takes place.

Women don't seem to have a clue about the way that all the clobbering they do of men fundamentally changes men's ability to feel about them in certain ways. Those changes are not reversible, you cannot change a pickle back into a cucumber. The innocent crushes which young men have on women which can mature into deep long-term caring love, make men terribly vulnerable to women's ability to use men's feelings to manipulate them. Men have to protect themselves, so they become jaded and cynical and lose the ability to experience those feelings. Often, by the mid-30s which has become the target age for marriage, men have simply been jerked around enough by women that not keeping one is the better option.
It is my contention man-bashing attitudes, much like those exhibited by Elio, really has left a callused legacy for other women. It saddens me that most of them are so brainwashed that when you try to tell them to lose the attitude, all it does is cause them to intensify it.

And just because you support the ruling, that doesn't make it right.

Basic logical fallacy here, one of the easiest to see.

Right in whos definition of "Right"? You say "Not right" I say "Right". Right/Wrong is relative.

YOU deem it 'right' or 'wrong' therefore it is. Basic logical fallacy here, one of the easiest to see.
