“that marriage is unfair to men as they are likely to be sexually underfed.”
In this country if you keep someone malnourished and impoverished it is a crime.
Wow, what a great article. It’s all about “stroking,poking and cumming”…lol
It’s a real problem — the author did a good job in presenting the anecdotes –and one of the reasons I have long advocated legalizing prostitution. Heck, I’m for subsidizing it. :^)
Of course, it won’t happen (the legalization, that is), and I know the overwhelming majority of MND writers and readers would object and curse me for even suggesting it, but for men it would be a blessing.
In my own case, I gave up on my wife when she let herself go physically, refused to do anything to clean up the house — that’s right, I do the cleaning and the chores — and blamed me for everything wrong in her life. Going into full-blown shrieking and screaming berserker mode didn’t help either. And let’s not forget using the “F*** You!” phrase on me.
So why am remain in this hell marriage? For starters, what are the alternatives? You tell me. Basically, it’s for the child and the fact that since my layoff my health, financial and otherwise, has been precarious — and going through a divorce would likely leave me on the streets and we wouldn’t want that, would we? I am sure all the writers and readers of MND would agree that would be bad.
Part of the problem is that beyond the usual self-absorption of women, is their arrogance that marriage is nothing they have to work at. Pleasing her is the man’s problem — the notion of both partners in marriage having to work together for their happiness is looked upon as revolting and bizarre. So the mini-welfare state view of marriage (supported by the overwhelming majority of women, left and right) continues. After all, they “love” us (whatever that means), so what else is necessary?
Never forget: the single most revolting image, the nightmare that haunts women, is that of the happy, grinning, sexually satisfied male. They really hate that and the sooner we adjust our social expectation to that fact, the better.
