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.
but with sperm counts down and testosterone levels low, what do we expect...
Because you need bread to go with that sausage.
In the hockey game of life women are the goalies and should only let the best shooters get the puck into the net. The puck shooters only job is to shoot for the net.
I think you are reading something into the article that is not there. He isn’t writing about you personally.
You’ve only f*cking been here 16 years.
Maybe you are casting your net into the wrong end of the testosterone pool. Or are you gay?
Yeah I agree.
Good points.
Many times women are horribly manipulative, and it isn't right. However, that fact does not excuse guys who manipulate women to get sex.
Actually, no; Mark Regnerus is perhaps the foremost researcher on family norms in the nation. He is a serious academic who is on the side of children being able to grow up with their married mother and father in the home. His research has shown that this is the best arrangement for kids, and he regularly takes abuse from the gay- and trans-fascists because he provides well-researched facts, not propaganda.
And it follows that if married parents is the best arrangement for chldren, then women behaving badly is the least likely way to achieve that benefit to society.
You have an argument in search of an opposing argument.
There isn’t one in this article or this thread.
No, most of it does lay at the feet of women.
I was simply responding to your sarcastic remark. The remark suggested that I view women as not being manipulative. I simply corrected the record.
“Would you like a free STD with that free milk?”
Been there. Done that. I went out with jimi’s weekend girlfriend in Milwaukee.
Single mothers may be the worst. Women who spend a decade riding the ‘cock carousel’ then find themselves facing 30 and start looking to settle down with a beta meal ticket, so they can play around some more knowing there are divorce attys on every corner... I’m lucky to be married for three decades, but I can see why a lot of young guys say, “I’m waiting for sex robots and artificial wombs.”
“Professor Says Women Are Ruining Their Chances of Getting Married By Being So Sexually Cheap”
Women were well aware of this before they started getting “educated”. They had enough sense back then to not give away for free what guys wanted most. Then they went and got a college education...
Not sure about your time-frame, here.
We talkin' 'bout the Roaring Twenties?

Regards,
Oh yes, riding the “c**k carousel” and then telling some beta herb with a job that “I can count how many men I have been with on one hand” before they hit “the wall”.
Kid is never in more danger than in a home without the natural father present.
That's just the way it is. A woman who has sex with a man 20 years her junior is told (inaccurately) that she is "empowered", but a man who has sex with a man 20 years his junior really is creepy.
