Comment on Can women really get laid whenever they want? by Sabletooth

Sabletooth — Wed, 09 May 2012 01:19:43 +0000

As a female I have to agree with the men. It is much easier for women to get laid. But…

Men who complain shouldn’t complain at all because it is their fault that it is easier for women. If a lot of men weren’t so easy and had actual standards instead of: “Every vagina is fine for me as long as it isn’t from an old lady!” Women would have it just as HARD to get laid as men.

To make it even more simple:
Men have a bigger need for sex
Women have a bigger need for love

And I firmly believe it doesn’t apply to all men or all women. Not every guy is a sexmaniac and not every women has the need for affection and love some just want casual sex.

So it isn’t easier for women in general because a lot of women don’t want to just get laid, they want a loving boyfriend.

I haven’t had a boyfriend or sex for almost a year and I’m still not complaining about sex or care about that at all. But I do miss affection and love sometimes.

People should just make different priorities instead of sex and the opposite sex, just go out with your friends have a great time meet new people, go travel, find a sport you love, go get a pet, go climb the mount everest, take singing classes, learn a new language…

I think nature better made us asexual aromantic creatures (and genderless even better!) that reproduces on its own.Then we had more important things to discuss and whine about than not getting laid and complaining about the opposite sex or proving which one is better.
There is no better sex! It’s the individual that counts!

Comment on The MBTA should not allow advertising from crisis pregnancy centers by Rex

the issue with the dissolution of the fertilized egg: semantics. whether you call it “early abortion” or something else, the point is the event occurs. a rose by any other name….
complications in 1 of 100 versus 0.3% having complications resulting in hospitalization: now you’re being misleading by saying their statistic is false. they said 1 in 100 have complications, not complications resulting in hospitalization
women getting depressed, etc. you’re right they should provide citation, but, based on personal knowledge of individuals i have personal relationships with, it is entirely possible and believable that this could be true, at least in some cases. how many or what portion? A study would be needed. or maybe there has been one. i’ll have to research it.
people have a right to an opinion or a stance. they aren’t obligated to be unbiased. you obviously are not. and pro-choice doesn’t necessaily mean pro-abortion, and in many cases it isn’t. but why some pro-choice people feel threatened by the very expession of the pro-life view is beyond me. as long as the choice/option is there, who cares if someone says they think it’s a bad idea. i have the legal right to drink, but people who think it’s a bad idea to have even one occasional drink can tell me their thoughts, then i can decide, and have the legal right to do so. trying to silence opposition is damaging to the concept of choice and freedom in a broader sense than just the right to choose, or NOT choose, an abortion.

Comment on Is your husband GAY? by Daisy

The two give away signs I’ve noticed are the husband’s willingness,even eagerness to discuss marital sex with perfect strangers, and the tendency of strong women who are afraid they’ll be curbed at marriage,to marry men who are more feminine than they are.

Actually, I worked in a bookstore and the number of men with their wives/dates/girlfriends who did doubletakes to watch men was alarming.
Maybe the ‘signs’ posted above were true for some women; it’s all about context. If a man who was never interested in dressing trendy suddenly develops a desire to do so that’s troubling,especially if those trends are popular among young gay men.

Comment on Women Seeking Solitude by Daisy

Daisy — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 16:28:25 +0000

Last night I watched a video about women and silence, and read a male author’s thought about women and silence. It was so easy to find in Spanish speaking cultures. There is a natural connection between women and silence and women and solitude that seems obvious to them. And yest, part of it is the understanding that women have always had to fend for themselves in a man’s world, or retreat into an anger fueled silence over injustices, but that’s only a very small part of it. It also has some very positive associations,like a way to be alone,gather strength etc.

However, in English speaking countries silence is always negative for women unless they’re monastics. Google the two words together and most entries deal with the silence of oppression or the silence of rape. When mentioned positively, women have to search out silence because they’re so busy.

Perhaps one of the reasons women did so much handiwork in the past was to be alone with their thoughts.

Also, if you notice, and it’s been scientifically proven, most women are most extroverted two weeks before their period, and more introverted a few days before and during their period. Besides the cramping, maybe one of the reasons for bodily discomfort, excessive emotional sensitivity and grouchiness is nature’s way of forcing us to take a break from the world and be alone.

“The problem here is that this line of reasoning goes on a lot of assumptions, the main one being that women are in a perpetual state of being propositioned for sex.”
*facepalm*
That’s because it’s socially unacceptable for a man to simply ask a woman for sex. If your understanding of men wasn’t so shockingly shallow, you would know that men pretty much want to have sex for most of the day. So even if they’re not explicitly asking you for sex, there is absolutely no doubt that a lot of men are looking at you and pondering what it would be like to have sex with you.

If you’re not being propositioned for sex, then, you know… you could try using that opening on your face called a “mouth”… and maybe… use it… to ask a man if he wants to have sex with you? Rather than standing there like some passive object?

Girl- “Hello, do you want to have sex?”
Guy- “For real?”
Girl- “Yeah dead serious.”
Guy- “Sounds good.”

IT’S THAT SIMPLE.
