In what some (the author) likely consider a groundbreaking assertion, University of Texas sociology professor Mark Regnerus is warning women that no one buys the cow when it gives the milk away for free.
In an extraordinarily trollish essay for the Wall Street Journal, excerpted from his book on the same subject, Regnerus makes a lot of sweeping generalizations about how the decline of marriage is a result of women boinking with impunity. He starts out with this quote from a 24-year-old guy named Kevin, a man of age who knows all there is to know about romantic and sexual relationships:
“Girls are easier to mislead than guys just by lying or just not really caring. If you know what girls want, then you know you should not give that to them until the proper time. If you do that strategically, then you can really have anything you want…whether it’s a relationship, sex, or whatever. You have the control.”
Nasty, Regnerus admits, but it works. And if it works, why would any guy ever stop lying to every woman he meets or treat them as people with any actual value? You can only get a guy to hang with you long enough to respect your humanity if you hold sex just out of reach for as long as possible, like a little bonbon in reward for eye contact.
To make his point about what dumb bimbos ladies are, Regnerus asks a girl named Kristin if men should make “sacrifices” for sex. She gives him a confusing answer (because wtf does that even mean) and he draws a damning conclusion:
Kristin rightly wants the men whom she dates to treat her well and to respect her interests, but the choices that she and other women have made unwittingly teach the men in their lives that such behavior is noble and nice but not required in order to sleep with them. They are hoping to find good men without supporting the sexual norms that would actually make men better.
My vagina is for teaching a lesson. If you’re not learning, I’m doing something wrong—to all of society!!
This cheap sex isn’t happening just because women are stupid and give the fuck without demanding a candlelit dinner first. It’s the result of technology, apparently. The two “technologies” Regnerus names are birth control—which he admits has been around for 60 years, so it’s unclear why family planning is a modern culprit—and pornography:
Online porn has made sexual experience more widely and easily available too. A laptop never says no, and for many men, virtual women are now genuine competition for real partners.
She is 100% correct.
I hope she’s ready to be savaged on social media.
The typical Slut-Walk participant gets very angry at anyone who disagrees with their choice to walk around like a hooker.
Some lifestyle choices are not acceptable if you want to retain some small amount of dignity.
I can’t see that anyone at all is worried about STDs anymore except the ones who get painful lesions and such but they aren’t concerned with preventing STDs- they already have them and are maybe looking for someone to sue. Usually the crowd is too large to sort out the culprit.
Or men who use terms like tuna town.
Well, there's HPV, which can cause deadly cervical cancer in women. No painful external lesions, it's all inside.
More like divorced men telling their stories about the family court and legal expenses and child support and alimony...
Bears repeating.
In this twisted culture, there’s no such thing as a cheap man. He can lie to a woman, play to her needs and desires, and when she gives him what he is claiming he wants its Gotcha! Toss that dumb ho’ over the cliff, next...
Somehow knowing how to play that game in order to win that sort of man, is not winning any prize at all.
Phone numbers, professor. Give me their phone numbers!
No. Butt bag. You ever notice guys with Levis all baggy? My dad calls them ‘butt bags’.
Yeah, it’s the first time in twenty years I’ve seen the “f” word used in Freep.
I don’t like it, it’s vulgar.
Ed
Let’s see....
- Cheap, easy sex by way of 1) ‘sex ed’ 2) the pill 3) cultural slide ‘everybody does it’ (movies, music, etc.) 4) Porn - desensitized.
- Judicial system where the man is always wrong, and will pay out the ying-yang, regardless of conditions/reasons.
- Men having NO say over child. Regardless of what *HE* wants, she can kill\terminate or make him pay for 18 yrs.
- Govt which promotes and, like culture, CELEBRATES ‘working mom’ w/ NO mention\need\want of father/dad, let alone the nuclear family. IE: Marriage-penalty, govt growth == no more single bread-winner, etc.
- Feminism and ‘rape culture’.
Porn a/o ‘rosy and her 5-sisters’ will keep his @ss outta jail!
This isn't the 1990s anymore. Your feminist shaming language won't work.
Hint : ever notice how a woman who has sex with a man 20 years her junior is "empowered" but a man who does so is "creepy"?
It's because the old women are (unsuccessfully) competing with the younger ones for the hottest most attractive men.
G-rated version: No shock, Sherlock. ;-)
Why pay full price for a cow, when someone else has been milking her, and if she decides to leave, you have to continue making the payments while someone else gets all the rest of the milk...?
Men need slutty women like a bicycle needs tuna fish.
Poor baby.
Exactly
No, not the same at all. Sorry.
Admit what?
“Admit” is a synonym for “Confess”.
We admit nothing!
Yes, women are not manipulative to the slightest degree.
Yes, absolutely true. When a man makes a point any woman does not like or agree with he is unsuccessful with women and hates women. This is a scientific fact.
