The Unexamined Brutality of the Male Libido (NY Slimes)
New York Slimes ^ | November 25, 2017 | STEPHEN MARCHE

Posted on 11/26/2017 5:42:39 PM PST by EdnaMode

After weeks of continuously unfolding abuse scandals, men have become, quite literally, unbelievable. What any given man might say about gender politics and how he treats women are separate and unrelated phenomena. Liberal or conservative, feminist or chauvinist, woke or benighted, young or old, found on Fox News or in The New Republic, a man’s stated opinions have next to no relationship to behavior.

Through sheer bulk, the string of revelations about men from Bill Cosby to Roger Ailes to Harvey Weinstein to Louis C.K. to Al Franken and, this week, to Charlie Rose and John Lasseter, have forced men to confront what they hate to think about most: the nature of men in general. This time the accusations aren’t against some freak geography teacher, some frat running amok in a Southern college town. They’re against men of all different varieties, in different industries, with different sensibilities, bound together, solely, by the grotesquerie of their sexuality.

Men arrive at this moment of reckoning woefully unprepared. Most are shocked by the reality of women’s lived experience. Almost all are uninterested or unwilling to grapple with the problem at the heart of all this: the often ugly and dangerous nature of the male libido.

For most of history, we’ve taken for granted the implicit brutality of male sexuality. In 1976, the radical feminist and pornography opponent Andrea Dworkin said that the only sex between a man and a woman that could be undertaken without violence was sex with a flaccid penis: “I think that men will have to give up their precious erections,” she wrote. In the third century A.D., it is widely believed, the great Catholic theologian Origen, working on roughly the same principle, castrated himself.

>>Where do they come up with these articles?<<

Ugly ball-busters who finally get revenge for being passed over in HS as too ugly.

They sit in their rooms, racking imagined insults (ignoring them being the biggest sin), despising men for — not hating, but rather ignoring them.

Lesbians do not love other women — they just have no other response for men not loving them.

From here: “If there are no absolutes by which to judge society, then society is absolute.” Francis Schaeffer, How Shall We Then Live? (Old Tappan NJ: Fleming H Revell Company, 1976), p. 224. These clowns are devoid of common sense, humanity, and faith in God.

2020, the year of the Soros woman president. It is in full motion right now. Might as well start recognizing that males are a disease on civilization.

Wow, try applying that logic to blacks and crime rather than men and some men’s inability to act with any honor and suddenly you’d be a ... a .. fascist nazi racist.

Prediction - This is the start of a male bashing campaign under the banner of “toxic masculinity”.

Stephen Marche comes across as a sodomite ... and a catcher, not a pitcher.

Actually, it’s been examined for quite awhile and the solutions include what libs despise.

Going back to the bible you can see a real good example of unbridled male sexuality in the cities of sodom and gomorrah. Their destruction provides the lesson that the behavior found in those towns are displeasing to God. The rampant homosexuality there only served to expand bad behavior, not curtail it.

The first covenant included circumcision. Libs have even tried to make it illegal by calling it child abuse.

And then there’s that annoying, “thou shalt not covet your neighbor’s wife” and the idea that maybe sex should only occur within marriage. Libs shudder at the idea of teaching abstinence and would rather hand out condoms in nursery school.

The social conservative “solutions” that curtail male libido are exactly what libs spend a lot of time trying to tear down.

They’re getting what they asked for.

What do all the latest batch of sex allegations have in common? Maleness? No. It’s power. Persons who thought their positions of power, in one sense or another, gave them an excuse to take, and protection from consequence of taking, sexual advantage over someone. That relationship kind of power is just like wealth, and the rich man getting into heaven or not. It’s not the wealth or the power (or the “maleness”). It’s the desire and temptation to give into a desire instead of rejecting the temptation and the desire.

The problem with the article is not just the falseness of the argument in the article, but the falseness of what they are trying to claim to be the data. What percent of the total male population do the alleged male perpetrators in the latest sex allegations represent? Less than one tenth of one percent I’d guess. Yet the author of the article wants to pretend that ALL men - ALL men - are like all those men recently alleged to be perpetrators of sexual abuse.

Meanwhile, they also ignore, in another area, our schools, where female educators are increasing as a percentage of educators accused of sexual abuse of some student or students; and I don’t think it’s merely better reporting that is making it appear to be showing that increase. I don’t think the author of the article wants to accuse those female educators of “maleness”.

Please the female libido is far worse. We live in a total gynocentric society here where female hypergamy is unrestrained and rewarded.

They can all enkoy their cats alone fo all i care. Brought it on themselves.

What’s the lesson here? Women should stay away from liberal men.
