Babies.

Porn isn't a thing in itself... it is a reflection of Men's obsession with sex.

the only thing in most women's lives that approaches that 'take over your life' level of attention in women is their babies and their children.

Like sex for men... it can be balanced, healthy and an expression of love... like sex for men it can become obsessive and self destructive... it can become something that feels smothering...

and about the same percentage of men show no interest in sex as women who show no interest in babies.


I agree with phil on this one.

Its not actual porn itself, but it's this porn culture that is so intertwined in men's lives.

The only thing I can think of that comes close is Motherhood. When a baby girl becomes a toddler, she is immediately introduced to dolls and toys that teach her to be a caregiver and motherly. Society and the media pushes her to be to ultimately find a husband to be a mother.

There is something to this....

You're not a man if you are not sexual

You're not a woman if you don't have a baby and a husband.

(My fiance summed up what I was trying to say, thanks babe)

Of course these things statements are stupid, but society and american culture almost makes this an unwritten law.

Where do I get to nominate this heap for stupidest thread ever?

I love the way the usual suspects have all the answers too.

Men are to porn as women are to being put in a fucking stupid little box of one answer fits all because God forbid anyone should ever actually have to think for him/herself and work out how to relate to another human being as an individual. Ooo, yeah, baby - I love that so much! Just came at the thought of it! You fuckwits.

There's my fucking answer.


NAILED IT

you are not an idiot if....

no.. wait...
yeah...

you pretty much nailed the idiot criteria. :smile:


now.. maybe that statement is stupid.. but the woman of LPSG and their standards makes this an almost unwritten law.



randomly - another thread seeking validation for your thought/feelings. "everyone thinks this way... right?"

clearly not.

followed by your usual cranky/whatever when popular opinion doesn't offer support.

I hated this thread from the moment I saw it's title, I hardly even had to read the OP and some of the god awful responses it gathered, but god forgive me I actually did. The whole thing makes my flesh creep.

This is exactly the kind of stuff that makes this site icky as shit sometimes.

I hated it too when the dipstick who wrote it put it in the women's forum this morning. Glad it was moved. But how about closing this shit now? It serves no real purpose to anyone except the OP and his ridiculous self.

WTF!!!!! You and your fiance have a lot of growing up to do.

WHy don't you read the whole comment!? I say those statements are stupid, but yet society tells us this.

You're not a man if you are not sexual

You're not a woman if you don't have a baby and a husband.

You angry, foul-mouthed women are doing nothing to advance your feminist perspectives. You should learn to laugh instead of spew hatred.

<Major facepalm>

Now I'll be the first to admit that my views on womanhood are at least somewhat skewed, in as much as I've only known them as relatives (grandmothers, aunts, mother, sisters and cousins), friends, schoolmates, co-workers (both as managers and associates I've supervised as well as equals), with a mentor or two thrown in for good measure. But because we've never really had any sexual tension introduced into our interactions (with vanishingly rare exceptions), I've been able to enjoy a perspective perhaps lost on my hetero/bi brethren, and frequently find myself engaged in truthful conversations about just about everything: most especially sex.

Women are no less sexual creatures than men, and, at least the women in my life over the years have rarely if ever suppressed any desire to talk about it: all of it, the good, bad and ugly, when it comes to sexual expression with men, with other women and with themselves. These expressions may not correspond precisely between men and women, but there's hardly a reason to discount women's appetite for erotica (even if it varies from the straight-porn paradigm at times) any more than to assign a woman's sexual motivations to maternity rather than plain-old lust.

I know now and have always been acquainted with females with no interest in child-bearing whatsoever; this in no way makes them less "womanly" (I shudder even as I type the word), and to do so cheapens them as people. It also belittles their personal and professional goals to suggest that they are in any way inferior to motherhood. I thought that thought process died out sometime in the mid-70s; it was certainly long-buried by the majority of the women in my life by the mid-80s.

Who knows? Maybe I just always ran with feral, wanton bitches, though I doubt it. Most of them seemed reasonable enough to me at the time and still do. Parenthood has been held in equally-high esteem among my friends who've chosen that life path irrespective of gender.

Equating "men's" "obsession" with porn to "women's" maternal instincts is just completely, utterly, profoundly misguided. And no one, ever puts boys in a sexualized, porn-influenced situation the way young girls are given dolls and such. Perhaps a better similarity would be drawn between dolls and toy guns, but I'd doubt anyone saying that toy guns inherently make boys more violent; testosterone does that for us :rolleyes:

If you're going to say something about the women, quote em, don't generalize em.

"You angry, foul-mouthed women are doing nothing to advance your feminist perspectives. You should learn to laugh instead of spew hatred."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Or maybe you should learn to stop telling others what to do and to start reading opinions that disagree with your own and taking them on board.

Or fuck off. Fucking off is always an option. :smile:
