RE: Are We Asking For It?

in #feminism8 years ago (edited)

I've chosen your post to respond, as I've detected genuine thought going on - an attempt to understand what you're facing. Thank you kindly, and it's my pleasure to now show that there was indeed a core argument, which you regrettably missed.

As you know, my post was itself a response to another discussion. That discussion was about how "women should do whatever they want with their sexuality". I pointed out that the restrictions that classical cultures place on women are not arbitrary, they arise from social necessity. Female sexuality is not the only player on the block, there is also male sexuality which must be considered & taken into account.

Women sexually flaunting themselves to men who cannot do anything about it - that is a recipe for disaster.

Veralynn may not know it, but her feminism is meant to lead to disaster. It is meant to destroy the fabric of society, like a nerve poison.

This type of feminism is all about maximally unrestricted female sexuality with maximally restricted male sexuality.

"I should be able to wave the scarlet cloth in front of the bull's face and be safe, this is my safe space!"

Good, good - but only as long as there are men with guns and gavels, who provide you with the physical and legal protection you need for your exercise in unrestricted female sexuality ("empowerment"). As soon as these artificial protections are whisked away, you either instantly become a decent woman who covers up and is careful about opening her mouth too much around strange men, or you careen into a complete trainwreck - becoming a serial victim to any lawless men around, who will treat you like human trash.

Being a decent woman and not provoking men sexually is in effect a kind of insurance policy, which makes it more likely that other men will protect you if bad situations happen, and other women view you more favorably (somebody worth defending).

One does get the distinct impression though, that I am talking to children. Children who think "I should be able to have all the candies I want!!", and are ill equipped to understand the concept of dental caries, or the loss of smiles and health it brings.
