OK, here, the fact that “men” regard highly those other “men” who take advantage of women by having casual sex with no purpose other than self-gratification demonstrates a selfish, narcissistic perspective with no redeeming purpose. Compare with the values discussed by Harrison Butker and your perspective, if you are recommending it, comes up as totally bankrupt.
Now do the “You Go, G’rrrrl !” crowd and all the empowering one night stands in Cancun or Europe....
The key is, women used to guard each others’
chastity; now they compete in sluttery.
What you are saying is true, but irrelevant. And you are also deliberately failing to mention that the same applies to women.
The "women" (why do you put "men" in quotation marks?) have presumably attained the age of consent, and are likewise "taking advantage" of the men for their own nefarious purposes (i.e., probably also for shallow, unredeeming reasons). I thus see no reason here to view the behavior of the women as any less selfish or less narcissistic than that of the men.
The only difference is: The men have to invest a lot more energy and other resources and/or display a lot more genetic fitness in order to get the women to "invite" them in. They might have to, e.g., acquire advanced educational credentials, be in the top 10% of annual incomes, or display extraordinary "game" (i.e., confidence, social skills, status, etc.) in order to "close the deal."
In contrast, all the women have to do is show up.
That's why a woman with a high "notch-count" has no "bragging rights."
(I never implied that "loose" men were morally more upstanding than "loose" women. I made no moral statement at all. I mentioned only that sexually successful men are envied by their peers because they are able to achieve much-needed physiological "release," whereas their peers are forced to endure many years of sexual frustration compounded by being socially ostracized in the dating market.)
Until the inevitable ravages of Father Time become apparent - sometime in their 30s - unattached women can rely on their innate secondary sexual characteristics to attract attention. Men, on the other hand, have to bust their butts to get anywhere with the ladies.
It needn't even be supposed that actual (casual) sex (which you apparently find repugnant - to each his own; I'll not debate that with you) is taking place. It could also be innocent dating. Men will still have to jump through hoops in order to be considered, while women need only show up.
Is that so difficult to understand?
