“When women bought into the feminist viewpoint on sexuality”

A more accurate description is feminist vapor .
That’s what their ideas are.
A puff of something that looks important for a second , then gone.

There is always an agenda to every article that you read.

As a long time video game player, the last 10-15 years of gaming, and perhaps more, has been about the metagame. Which is a question of using the game’s rules to our advantage as we play a game. This sort of thinking has been around for far far longer than electronics have existed. Machiavelli wrote about it in The Prince, however many hundreds of years ago.

How do we take the rules of the game and turn them to our advantage.

This is what politicians do all the time. This is also what WE need to do when dealing with the great game. How do we turn the situation to our advantage?

I have grown increasingly frustrated with this in games- using a game mechanic to win, even though that game mechanic was not intended to be used in that fashion.

But the fact is, this is how things work. Every single politician does this and its part of why they are in office. We see them doing insider trading all the time. Thats part of the metagame.

Ballot harvesting- metagame. Ballot curing - metagame. Etc.

What laws and practices are there that we can use to metagame and win against them?

As distasteful as I find this to be, its the only way we win because they are already using it against us.

Fair point to make, and likely.

Here’s my two cents.

I’ve mentioned before on FR how my mother sat me down the evening of my 16th birthday (before I left for town to see my friends, and cruise), and had a one to one talk. Her speech to me was riveting, her eyes locked on to me, as though this was a life or death message. (I knew my parents marriage was not strong. Dad was a Gregory Peck lookalike, and was pursued by various women. Their marriage failed 7 yrs after that speech).

Her love and concern for her children was immeasurable. I was a late bloomer, and when I finally physically matured, getting dates with very attractive girls was easy. Saying no was quite difficult, but I simply wasn’t going to give in to a girl I wasn’t in love with

Every guy should have a mom like I had. In that talk to me, she stressed that I respect myself AND the young lady I’m with. To not let myself get talked into something I would regret later. She was VERY emphatic that I not take advantage of a girl, saying if she found out I did, she would slap me HARD!

Then at 23 I was rewarded with a 21 yr old virgin, who made me wait until wedding night 11 months later. We both awkwardly started learning about sex that night, and 44 yrs later (Aug 12th) we still smile about our joint learning experience. The way God intended it to be

Maybe it’s my age and my life experiences but unfortunately most women are whores or would be given the chance. I’ve met a few angelic women in my life,
My grandmothers, my mother and my wife :-). And no, I don’t hate women at all, just calling it like it is. Society has failed them.

And what about his “one”? I wonder if it crosses her mind when she shares intimate moments with him of all his other partners from
His last? Of course it does. There’s no security in playing around for anyone.

See, it’s not all about the person involved in sinful relationships. It’s never about one person or even two..,it will and does affect others along the way…for a lifetime.

Certainly there were governing facts before, being biology and evolution. Being a hoor meant that you were a bad paternity bet/investment and if you got pregnant out of wedlock, raising a child on your own would be very tough in a unforgiving environment. We have eliminated that by producing birth control, abirshun, and welfare. We also tried to eliminate the stigma of being ahoor through gaslighting lies that deny actual factual statistics. Society has been overtaken by feminists and its failed all of us.

I think this is another case where the statistics are used to present a conclusion. You and I could work the same numbers and come up with different conclusions. It is so much easier to start with the conclusion and work backwards. Lol.

I’ll probably get flamed for this, but.....

My own feeling is that a man who does not have much sexual experience when he gets married will wonder about what it is like with other women. I know men who fall into this category who have expressed this. Not all, but enough.

I am a man and talk to other men about these topics (usually after a few beers), but not women. So I don’t claim any special insight with regard to women’s preference or perogatives. But it does seem to me that women who stay virgins until they are married have longer, happier marriages....with more children. I have two ex-girlfriends who fall into that category.

I will say that, a couple of times, I heard groups of women talking when they thought no men could hear them. And I was almost shocked how sexually graphic the conversations were. When men talk about sex, they do it in generalities; rarely do they get into the graphic details.

I will also say that just about all men covet virgins for marriage. Never ran across any man who chose a woman specifically because she had a lot of sexual partners and experience.

Not flaming you, but when humans discuss with each other the intimate details of sexual experience, that is typically a hallmark for insecurities and deeper issues. The strongest couples don’t divulge these details with others as it’s a betrayal. The couples who are in serious trouble do.

The most secure feeling in the world is after decades of building a strong marriage and knowing you and your spouse are each others one and only.

This is why NONE of the biblical patriarchs were blessed when they had extra wives or concubines. It always brought destruction and dysfunction.

Devaluing marriage to be meaningless other than a ceremony to be photographed and then based on sex hi lights the delusion that sex is the main part of marriage and since you don’t have to be married to have sex, then marriage is meaningless.

Having multiple sexual partners does not affect your marriage chances in the long-term, a study suggests.

I think timing is a key issue to this statement.

The chances for murder and mutilation go sky high. The chance of building wealth goes way down and the effects on their Children’s future is bad. Avoid this like the plague.

Having multiple sexual partners does not affect your marriage just your blood and parts it maintains.

And it was done deliberately, by the commies, in 80 years. Don’t forget that.

I am on the far side of 50. I have only seen one, maybe two, genuinely happy marriages. Everyone else, seems absolutely miserable.

Myself, I have remained unmarried. I have been a bad boy in my younger days but now chosen celibacy and chose not to date. I look around at other people and no one seems happy in a marriage or have been run through the wringer with divorce. Modern society I guess.

What is means is co-habitation, vs. marriage is the norm, and along with contraceptives the sexual revolution fosters an increasingly weak society, of one or two kids at most, typically spoiled and not learning to deal with others well (having one or no brothers or sisters), and increasingly so stable resident father, and in often live-in boyfriends who are not reported in collecting welfare. Fornication without the normal, God-ordained result (children) is not the answer either. Either stay single and continent, or marry a true Godly wife, most likely not from this country.

Meanwhile, a widely headlined study from General Social Survey (based at the University of Chicago and funded by the National Science Foundation) that said that the percentage of men aged 18 to 24 who reported no partner sex during the previous year rose from 19 to 31 percent during a 16-year period (2000-2002 to 2016-2018). Women aged 18 to 24 reported an increase from 16 to 20 percent [https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/all-about-sex/202106/why-people-are-having-so-much-less-sex] [https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2767066]. The percentage of Americans aged 18 to 29 who reported not having sex during the past year more than doubled between 2008 and 2018, to 23 percent. [https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/03/29/share-americans-not-having-sex-has-reached-record-high]

Yet the average single person reports having sex approximately 33 times per yearm and unmarried people who live with their fornicating partner reporting an average of 86 times per year.[https://www.forhims.com/blog/how-often-do-couples-have-sex] Moreover, a large proportion of college students do not consider oral as having “had sex.” [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8917100/]

I am not sure if the reporter or the researchers can read a chart? It shows a woman with 1 non-martial partner has a 90% chance of being married by age 35. For 304s, that rate drops to 60%. That does seem permanent to me. The academics who did this research cannot say the truth without the feminists coming down their throats?

This may be how it is done. You take the percentage both men and women with zero partners who become married, which is the lowest, and you compare that with the most promiscuous fornicators, and thus you conclude that being of the latter class translates into a equal or higher rate of marriage. Which is kind of like comparing those who do not drive with those who rent cars to drive, concluding that the latter are more likely to marry.

And another study found that women with 10 or more partners prior to marriage were the most likely to divorce, while women with 0-1 partners prior to marriage were the least likely to divorce. And that people who attend church frequently have lower divorce rates than do non-participants.

In the throws of passion, a husband says to his wife..... Oh Karen, I mean Brenda er Kathy, er Cheryl I mean Debra or is Denise?
Oh baby....
The woman also throws out names that do not match her husbands....
