A lady committed a cardinal sin for this blog. She distorted and rephrased what I said and used it to preach a political sermon. In short, she was caught in political sin. Her comment was deleted and blog forgiveness isn’t likely forthcoming.
As if I had said it, she spouted feminist drivel. Using what I never said as the theme, she dishonestly claimed as truth that which directly uplifts women while indirectly demeaning men. It’s a popular propaganda tool used by the political Left, but it has no place here.
Here’s the truism she twisted to her advantage: “Men do whatever women require in order for men to have frequent and convenient access to sex.”
Here’s how she distorted the thought, reshaped the meaning, and commenced her rant: “I have to say, if it is indeed an absolute truth that men marry for the sole purpose of securing “frequent and unlimited access to sex, then I don’t want to get married. That, to me, sounds like legalized prostitution. A women exchanges sex-on-tap for provider/protector? …” She continued for nearly a hundred more words.
Ladies, in case you wonder, trickery more than attitude and twisting my words more than demeaning men got her expelled from this school. I don’t exclude politics from the blog.
So she was thinking that commitment as a motive for women is more moral than sex as a motive for men is; when they are both morally neutral. It would have been hard for me to pinpoint that lie.
I hate when people take things out of context and distort them. It is one of the worse forms of lying There is a Mitt Romeny ad playing now that does that and I have lost all respect for him as a result. He should be able to prove his point without cutting and pasting words to make new sentences with completely different meaning.
Anyway, I think that the “men will do whatever takes for frequent ……” quote is true. Regular sex is a basic need and procreation is biologically the point of our existence. Women seeking protection and providers is also biologically driven by the need to make sure their offspring survives. There is nothing wrong with any of that. Prostitution is anonymous sex for money.
I don’t think there’s anything ignoble about men doing whatever it takes, etc. What is ignoble, perhaps, is women requiring that they do… nothing! Men will do what it takes. Set the bar high and watch them shine! You may want to reference Guy’s posts about sexual fulfillment (I believe that’s what he called it) which goes far, far beyond sex and is what men TRULY seek.
Thanks, Anne.
Sir Guy,
You are a great captain of the blog’s soul.
