Unfortunately, some of them habituate it into inappropriate touching with vulnerable people, someone they feel will not judge or criticize them, hence probably the young girl thing. Too bad this falsely channelled behavior leads to some men doing illegal or borderline acts.

But if society was more accepting of the need for human touch among men who are not socially skilled players or who are not naturally great looking (thus able to attract females without effort), there would be other more socially acceptable outlets for them to work off this deep need than this desperate behavior.

Touch is a need as deep as hunger for food or the need for sleep. Women do not generally have this problem of touch deprivation since, when they need to be touched, they spread their legs for the next clown who walks by.

It is too bad men are not considered part of the human species too and their needs are summarily ignored by women and by the powerful few men who make the laws.

Another reason feminism is collapsing so dramatically.

Can you imagine if the world punished less good looking women by condeming them to NEVER be touched or touch anyone? Women would never stand for it. But somehow men are supposed to be above it all.

Very sad, really.

You just defended a pedophile as "touch-deprived" and blamed it on feminism. This has to be a new low.

To make it clear (for the slow thinkers and those who take glee in smearing me any chance they get), I did not and never would defend illegal behavior such as taking advantage of innocents.

As for feminism taking the blame. In the old days, there were many more options available to men than there are today. More men, not just the good looking and the clever, were for better or worse married and for longer portions of their lives. Whores were, if not legal, then at least considered a necessary evil. Men were permitted to accept their innate sexuality, needs, wants, and not shamed into hating themselves or disowning their needs.

So if a man needed touch, he would be better or kinder to his wife, or he would go down to the corner whorehouse. One key to this is admitting to oneself that this is a need that is JUSTIFIABLE and can be fulfilled or answered in some way.

Feminism made much of this worse or suspect, since all men are by nature raping criminals to the feminist mind, whores are not only illegal but the police are cowed into pushing for prosecution or johns and sometimes of the whores too. The continued illegality only adds to the danger of such services with disease and such.

Most men are unmarried, by choice or more often not by choice, for more of their lives. Feminists convinced women to demand that they accept only dream lover type men in their lives, so previously if a guy went into a bar, he might have been tolerated for being a bit rough socially when putting himself out for a woman's company. Of course with women all making good money now, fewer women exist to even be available to most men. Working class men are basically persona non grata to a good portion of the female population. The few women that do marry, marry up, so the pool of women towards the bottom has decreased. Feminism taught the schools to shame two generations of young boys and men into thinking their innate and quite human needs are borderline or worse, something they should not pursue or fulfill. There are more points, but you get my thrust.

Don't doubt, I do think feminism (old school) was good in that it empowered women to avoid bad marriages and gave them financial power to leave if needed. The flip side is it has made the pendulum swing too far the other way, both in that women do what they do based on their new freedoms, which inevitably leads to a society of men unable to read the tea leaves to figure out their role and how to live within the society in the new ways. Nobody has yet addressed how the sweeping changes affect average men.

To some extent, women cannot be blamed for this sad situation. But this does not excuse the need to address it, to find answers and solutions and for women to begin to question just what sort of lifestyle they lead when half of society is considered criminal or at least questionable for having needs too.

Thus, ONE reason (of many more) for the inevitable failure of militant feminism.

Women do not generally have this problem of touch deprivation since, when they need to be touched, they spread their legs for the next clown who walks by.

"Women" do this? All women? Wow, dude, you're both creepy AND a moron.

Don't crit unless you have a valid counterpoint. You show me where even fat, slovenly, smelly, insane women cannot get laid or at least get some physical contact in this society. I will be waiting for your enlightening answer.
