[Age of Reason]

Women should not give out sex until a man demonstrates that he is interested in a commitment

Second class behavior.

The best wait until marriage.

After all, a man should not trust a woman as much who holds to a lesser standard.

To hold to a lesser standard, is to say she is more likely to some day again find a convenient excuse for bedding someone she is not married to--but this time someone other than her husband.

One should understand, however, that the majority of men do not understand this themselves--but rather they are endowed by evolution with certain emotional guides that tend them in varying degrees, to such judgment (such emotions are often consciously rationalized as "respect").

I would never marry a woman who had sex with me before marriage.

But I would have sex with her.

True

However THIS quote is really "Second class behavior"

[GiovannaNicoletta]

I meant marriage when I said commitment, but I should have been more specific. After all, "commitment" can mean all sorts of things to different people.

I aggree 100% with the rest of your post. So many things our great-grandparents knew, that we have rejected or forgotten, that made a society civilized and ordered.

It's a terrible shame, the state we're in.
