The truth is that none of us can really help how we feel. ...
... Science has shown that most men literally put women into Madonna/whore categories in their brains. And that this process is involuntary. That doesn't mean we have to go around judging people left and right. Just the ones we are planning to marry. It would be nice if feminist ideology stopped promoting the myth that it's every girl's divine right to kick up her heels and never be judged on it by anyone
So, don't judge the guy, but if you're a feminist, it would be nice if you judged the girl?
I am a stodgy, long-time married, middle-aged liberal prude who believes the corny saying "a condom can't protect your heart." I am an ardent feminist and am not prone to judge. I am frustrated that critics of feminism seem above all to want us to judge our sisters. I receive feminist "promotions" all the time, which are preoccupied with bread-and-butter and health issues and do not come close to mentioning anything like this thread. I also think a lot of evolutionary psychology is so much hogwash.
I'm sorry and sympathetic that lieutenant tragula feels this way, and I'm sorry for digressing...
