Millennials are now famous for their misuse of the word “literally.” Yet it might almost be appropriate to use that modifier in describing what the War Between the Sexes has become.
I have never been a true feminist because I disliked the way the older second wavers urged me to sleep around to feel good about myself. It seemed to me that in a promiscuous culture we women were the losers simply due to our natures. And being told that the ultimate expression of womanhood was killing babies seemed like an insult to my sex. A lot of other nonsense about how we should “put ourselves first” and base our lives around “self-fulfillment” and “self-love” were also incompatible with my Christian faith or my neo-classical conservative views.
If I slam a steel kettle and a porcelain teacup together repeatedly, guess which will wind up having the raw end of the deal? Both are nice to have around my kitchen. Both have their uses. But slamming them together because I like the sound they make is a misuse. They were not designed to be treated that way.
While the teacup would be more apt to shatter, the kettle might also get dinged up. Once all the teacups were used up and broken, the kettle would be put on the shelf since it would no longer be needed for anything.
Promiscuity ruins our ability—as men and women—to get along with each other and function as a civil society. I think it’s finally taken a huge toll on women’s emotional health. Which is affecting men as well. As it does.
The “Me Too” mass hysteria seemed like a form of widescale, passive-aggressive revenge by women who were angry at being taken advantage of for years on end. Despite the lies that feminism teaches, women really don’t enjoy acting like pro bono hookers. Not for long. Deep down inside they feel unclean, defiled, and resentful of men who enjoy their bodies and go on with their lives to enjoy countless other bodies along the way. Like so many pleasant little restaurants and inns on the road trip of life.
Even women who reject hook up culture wind up paying for the feminists’ behavior. Society is a collective. When enough people in a collective do something wrong it affects everyone else. The feminists have poisoned the well for everybody else.
A lot of the madness seems to come from SM’s effect on women too. Like junk food that provides a lot of gastronomical pleasure (and calories) but no nutrition can fill people up, so they don’t eat what nourishes, women’s desire for human love, friendship and intimacy gets filled up with showing off for the admiration of strangers.
Likes and shares are not love. Virtue signaling is not a virtue. The “Johns” for that virtual prostitute account do not care for the women they ogle and will eagerly replace them with AI images.
In the end women’s obsession with small time diva status online, will prove as big a waste and a fraud as hook ups. There is no cure for our terminal culture as it implodes upon itself. But women who stay pure and love people rather than empty images will outlast all of this as individuals. (As will men.)
Thanks Rachel! I agree 100% with you!...Sorry I'm not on here much anymore as it's a full-time job looking after my bedridden mom, she just turned 96 last April.
The world is going not only TO HELL but it's already going THROUGH HELL!
I read that the Globalists are screwing around with The Boy Scouts, (Homogenizing, Feminizing,turning them to YGBT and...well, you get the idea!)........The WHO, CDC, and Evil men (demons) as bill gates,klaus schwab,soros,Trudeau,......etc,,,,,...(No I deliberately spelled their names in Lower-Case letters)
Take care, I'll be back when I can.
Excellent point! We men who value traditional Christian virtues also grieve for the women and men who have been lured into the trap of "easy-peasy" hook-ups. Having been married to my wife (and best friend) for 38 years, I can truly say that deep intimacy with ONE person is still the only way that works, and provides deep satisfaction and peace.
