Lust, sex, random thought

[Excited Penguin]

As a detached thing, however... Look, I love sluts, but the problem is I'll never take them seriously. And if one isn't looking for that kind of thing, *raises shoulders*.

Whose problem is that supposed to be.....theirs, or yours?  Maybe they just don't take the men they've met heretofore, you among them, seriously...and -why should they-..since you clearly aren't taking her seriously, by your own admission?

Yeah, it's my problem. I'll reserve the right to bitch about it without being labelled pretentious or a prude.

I'll also reserve the right to tell people to fuck off.

Ooh. Threats.

Go ahead and stew in your own stink for a while.

See, you still didn't explain what you meant.

I specifically said in that reply, people who don't know what I'm talking about should ignore my post.

So I'm assumming you do, now I'm asking for clarification.

Then spare the threats. I don't answer to those.

These are the fingers you were searching for.

I don't have time to read all 19 pages. Did we ever find out which society collapsed due to sexual promiscuity?

Well, there was the collapse of the Great Bonobo Empire during the reign of Emperor Dickus Maximus, which paved the way for Homo Sapiens to become ascendant. But the Bonobos don't really seem to give a shit. They haven't constructed stupid religions that harken back to the 'good old days' or to explain their 'fall' or any other such nonsense. They just keep screwing the hell out of each other and in secret tell stories about those strange apes that follow orders from imaginary beings and who seem so uptight and unhappy.

It's certainly nice to be able to be pretentious and prude without being labeled as such, if you can get it.

No one on this thread is going to point out where I blamed specifically women for anything.

It's all based on an emotional reaction to an assumption.

You need to take a long walk with some very deep gulps of fresh air before you can start talking about emotional reactions given your little display back there.

I'm not going to apologize for who I am.

So, once again, people should fuck off. I can be a nasty fuck too, and I'm way better at it.

Oh, so that's how you made so many friends. I always wondered.

The reason, often enough, that a person has a reaction like that...and I'm referencing this in the general as a phenomena, is that they truly and deeply do not see themselves that way.  The implication is personally damaging.  Unfortunately (or fortunately-depending on how you look at it) for us there's a twilight between something like open and dismissive misogny and the cultural artifact of misogyny.  When the misogynsts viewpoint has been ensconced as a cultural fact (as it has been) then it;s not just the misogynists who end up parroting it, and people need not -be- misogynists...in the fullest sense of the word, to repeat what they've heard. It's difficult to tell one from the other, ofc, from the outside.....and there's probably plenty of overlap, degrees of shaming, in context.

"I;m not a misogynist, but everyone knows that -x-" where x stands in for some subtle or not so subtle bit of misogyny.The person who says x rarely understands why a female (or anyone, really) would react to the statement the way that they do.....and that's saying something in and of itself. The perenial "I don;t know why you took it that way"...no, no -you- don't.

[Edwardo Piet]

why is it the implication that there's anything wrong with female promiscuity in the first place?

^^^ This ^^^ -- multiplied to infinity, regardless of my Lostification bias. This this this this this. The whole OP is based on this ridiculous implication zeh kittencorn addresses. This equates to:

Oh, stop.  Real men don't go hiding in corners.  [emoji12]

That's what wardrobes were invented for.
