The problem I suspect is that people would rather cling to a myth because they feel like they can exert some influence over it, rather than jumping to believing in the reality staring them in the face, in which they feel they lose their perceived 'power' over the situation.
At least if they believe in mythical party A and mythical party B, they believe they have a vote every two years that counts and they believe they can discuss issues with others that the two putative parties may eventually hear about from constituents.
The reality, that the two parties are two tentacles of the same beast and that we as a nation have been coopted by amoral internationalist banking and coporate elites is more difficult to swallow, because the true believers perceive they have no leverage in such a situation.
This is how the elites always 'win', because no prole can believe things are as depraved as they really are. They prefer to cling to simple falsehoods, rather than jumping to the complex reality.
As such, I believe humanity is ultimately doomed.
let's all go down the merry path of less expectation and collectively drown in mediocrity. Let's dig a hole down to the lowest comon denominator, TOGETHER.
That is the problem with society, everything is fine and good. No judgement. Do what you want to do.
Name a more fucked up society than the USA is today.
Women claim not to want controls over their sexuality and how they behave. I do not see why any man should have controls over his sexuality either.
Do you see it differently?
DurianJoe: I agree with you 100%. I was not talking about my behavior around women. I am too circumspect and polite to be an ass around women, having been over-pussified in the past. I was talking more about ideal manhood behavior, the kind I can only hope to approach one day.
Seriously. Just throw laundry all over the floor, lay down naked, and whale away at each other in multi-orgasmic fashion. Kind of puts the whole issue in perspective, doesn't it?
But things are not perfect, so there will be no sex, ZERO, until things are perfect-- per female demand.
make me glad I am not married (tied) to someone who dictates on HER schedule, HER level of expectations.
Staying home not working would depress anyone. Especially for a guy, it does a number on him, when women still equate manliness with earning power. Make him into a 'housemaid' to underline the position the guy is in, and you can generate lots of resentment.
But hey LW, if you bore with him, you can just dispose of him-- shove the slave down the stairs as it were-- and get another model.
too bad they had to turn it into a failing show.
Brightstar like breast
people with pink eye?
That's because she was married to a class act who didn't make such generalizations about women.
So if only the guys I know were not making a generalization like this, they would have sex with their spouses well into their marriages.
Wish that were so, for their sake. Reality is something else altogether.
Me: 90 is when I finally intend to breed and make some kids. Great being a guy!
going nuts over this article.
Someone tell me broadsheet's motives. Is it just to piss off men? Is that where we've come?
On this one, I felt like cringing, slapping my head in mock disbelief, and sniggering.
Because 'D' Comes Before 'R' in the Alphabet.
for a Kinder, Gentler Mindfuck
But I was still furious and am to this day
Glad I'm not you. You sound completely pathetic not just letting it go.
If all women never forgave and let things finally go, think how truly sad this planet would be. It would have died out a long time ago.
I feel very sorry for any guy stuck with you for that matter. I hope he wizens up and leaves.
and then to tell me you have very poor impulse control?
No, I meant I have very good impulse control, TOO GOOD. A lot of guys go with the flow and do what feels right rather than controlling themselves. They then laugh off the results. I wish I could be like that, but the feminists taught me to be afraid of my own shadow because I am the owner of a penis, therefore evil and suspect.
You qare right in this sense, I am not a REAL MAN yet. One who does as he pleases at the time he pleases, and does so successfully.
But thanks for misinterpreting what I said so you could build a big straw-brightstar to throw back at me.
