You did not address Leeandra's point regarding the fact that it would be illegal for women, not just men, to perform such an act. Also, I think a lot of women would be surprised to learn that, biologically, they have no voyeuristic tendencies. No such curiosity on their part, huh? Again, cite some evidence.
Maybe, if someone's undies are showing IN PUBLIC, I suggest it ought to be LEGAL in the case of both sexes.
Sure, many men would not be bothered if a woman took interest in peeking, but that only points out how humorless and brittle woman are.
I personally do not want to live in a humorless, brittle nation or culture and laugh at those who DO want to.
And so what if a guy gets off on it? Is that a crime now too in this feminist man hating nation?
Let's pick on women for a change. Let's get after all the women who peek at their boyfriend's cell phone calls, emails, etc, because IT MAKES THEM FEEL BETTER. Let begin mocking women for engaging in reading romance novels, which paint a completely unrealistic portrait of romance and men and which PERVERTED WOMEN GET OFF ON. You say reading romance novels is a victimless crime?
Think again, chumbo. The poor saps stuck with these women and their unrealistic expectations would completely beg to differ.
Again, the focus is always on men and on their potential transgressions, NEVER on women. THIS is the core problem I have with all this.
and the women jailed or fined?
- A woman should not be able to falsely attribute a child to a man
- A woman should not be allowed to unilaterally decide if an accidental pregnancy will lead to the father being forced into fatherhood for the next 18 years
- A woman should not be allowed to do anything in a marriage that can be construed as witholding affection as a condition of the man doing something for her
- A woman should not be allowed to spend indiscriminately within a marriage money that is not hers, particularly as money problems are the leading cause of divorce. No man should ever feel compelled to grant their spouse spending money unless it is completely without connection to her granting affection to him
- Granting of alimony as a result of divorce ought to be illegal. It is a scam with true victims in the men who are stuck with the bill.
- Women who claim shared custody of children should be jailed if they EVER get in the way of being fair and generous in letting the father have visitation.
- Romance novels ought to be outlawed. No man needs that crap laid on him about how he does not match up to the fantasy. For that matter, any man who belittles a woman for not matching up to his expectations from some porn film ought to also be fined. It is EMOTIONAL ABUSE.
- Women who smoke, drink, or do drugs during pregnancy or engage in any other risky behavior, as determined by society, ought to be jailed.
I could write more, but these are some juicy ones.
The point is, women freely engage in all of these behaviors all of the time.
Were the laws to be fair to both sexes, many of these offenses would lead to women being fined or jailed.
BUT THEY ARE NOT. Women are given a free ticket where men are not.
Hence my ongoing battle against man hating society.
Trials against any and all who savaged this nation into ruin.
They ought to be stripped of all their assets and jailed for life, preferably in some third world hellhole (considering the US is about to be a third world nation...)
Any less than all this is TREASON.
SO, now do you people understand why the Evil Bush Family bought that 100,000 acre spread in South America?
since the world is obviously directly heading for the worst depression in hundreds of years, can someone please point me to literature that describes the best place for one to store their assets to maximally protect them?
Is it gold? Some non-fiat currency? Property?
Who has a bead on this?
has NOT been operating with a gun to all of our heads since the 1930s anyway.
That is what fiat currency is. Currency that retains value as long as everyone can be compelled through force to continue to accept it as currency.
The only difference now is that the edifice behind it is being deliberately torn down. the elites handed free and easy money to this country's banks for years just to get us to this point of being fat and happy.
Now they have pulled the rug out from under us, the society will now collapse and the elites can come in and buy the assets up for pennies on the dollar.
The whole thing will be replayed after the inevitable third world war when a NEW potemkin village of banking structures is set up to pull the stunt yet again some years hence.
In other words, there is no HOPE on this planet.
You could try my system. I store up my treasures in heaven, where they will be waiting for me.
and manna floats down to feed you. Makes sense actually.
My problem with organized religion is that the Bible was put together by elites centuries ago in order to make THEIR control over the people absolute, with the intent of helping humanity a distant second. Really it is no different than the self serving behavior exhibited today in Washington. The elites ALWAYS do things for their own benefit.
Is there a heaven after all? Not for me to answer, but I have decoupled the potential for a heaven from the contradictions inherent in the Bible book. Fortunately, I AM still spiritual.
