and men don't really like having to spend time or energy interacting with women who would be physically incapable of having sex with them if they were the last man on earth and that were the only way to repopulate the planet (and who make this clear in subtle or overt ways depending on which is necessary to get the point across). So someone is going to be not enjoying themself no matter what. Why is the comfort level of women the ONLY thing that is regarded as real.
Not always, it depends on who they are. Dick Cheny for instance.
take Dick Cheny, please.
I think we need a little more detail on that one.
99% of all heterosexual relationships that don't involve the man paying for it can be described this way with the male in the "doing all the work" role. You'll have to do better than that.
Calling someone who dislikes strip clubs prudish or anti-sex is as nonsensical as calling someone who refuses to eat at McDonalds anti-food.
in fact some have gone so far as to suggest that apart from sever abuse and whatever information/belief system that people are taught, everything is genetic.
this is a very widely verified fact among all mammals including humans: the females all either reproduce or die during pregnancy/giving birth, but only about 40% of the males do. Obviously things work differently in modern technological society but the facts that give rise to this result still exist and still have effects.
No but they are telling to sit on the seat to piss in order to demonstrate our rejection of male privilige.
Since you are so concerned about me, I can tell you that even though I have to work hard for it, I manage adequately due to my low standards and the fact that I am somewhat better looking than average. I can only image, (actually I don't have to image) how (not)fucked I'd be if I had average or worse looks to go along with my only average "game".
from being dragged into the bushes by a psycho?
but how many would do so if the men had no money, no social status and nothing to offer other than their hot selves. Probably somewhat fewer. Yeah sure, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but if you aren't bi or gay it doesn't mean anything.
"any women who gets off on penetration is a victim of brainwashing by the patriarchy". So it's all good, I guess.
with a woman who isn't sexually attracted enough to him to want to sleep with him and in fact it will always be suspected (given that we don't live in Afghanistan and therefore that women can choose sex if they want to), when the strategy that you describe is employed, that she harbors an active aversion.
females need female help to successfully reproduce (raise their children to adulthood) almost as much as they need sex (and real help may be harder to get than sex). For this reason females have an instinctive need for non-sexual friends that is almost the equivalent of their need for romantic relationships and sex(or maybe greater). Men don't have this direct instinctive need. Straight men are in little doubt that romance and sex take precedence over other social needs and interactions (the case where men neglect women in order to pursue status enhancing activities is the exception that proves the rule because the ultimate instinctive goal of these activities is more and better relationships with women). Women are "confused" on these points. Not anymore though, you can thank me later.
we are very tired of it too. Obviously though straight men, unlike many/most? "straight" women, are unwilling to take the next step which is disengagement. I can understand why men seem like whiners; "why don't you just go away if you have so many problems with us".
when there is nothing to fix? Are they training them to be "responsible"?
regard men being forced to shave their beards (or remove mats of back hair) in order to be considered fuckable by most women with the same outrage that they regard women being "forced" to remove body hair. Lets "face" it!, men shave off more hair and perform more skin abrasion than women do, they don't complain and it isn't an issue because for reasons of biology men know they have to work for it, there is no expectation of being loved (only) for yourself.
just playacting.
it hurts becasuse you PULL THE HAIR OUT, and if you have ever had a waxing you have NEVER had one that didn't PULL OUT HAIR. Some people have highly sensitive skin, actually kids tend too, but lots of people don't. You emotions are overriding your ability to see and to rationally evaluate reality.
if it hurts.
well?
if it hurt the way you are describing there would be HEAT damage and people aren't signing on for that, besides even if adult women were willing to get burned for beauty (they aren't) no kid would put up with it without screaming BLOODY MURDER and probably causing someone to get arrested. You remind me of the women's studies "proof" that women turn female babies towards them to encourage them to be timid and submissive and hold male babies facing outward in order to encourage them to be outgoing and engaged with the world. Anyone who had ever been around a baby would know that mothers are forced to turn the boys outward to avoid being constantly kicked and punched and to prevent the kid from flinging himself backwards onto the floor.
