If men truly considered it a form of enslavement then logic would say they would not ask for a woman’s hand in marriage.
Only superficial males fully agree with the quote, either that or the ones that have never actually been in love.
I can say this as a female because the majority of my friends are male and would be disgusted with that point of view.
I am sorry, but, husbands are just as expensive, demanding and controlling as wives. You men only hear what goes on in the male locker room, not the women’s locker room.
Men complain about how many shoes their wife has, while they stand in a garage that hold 800 tools which they will probably only ever use one or two. A 15 dollar screwdriver to fix their LaZboy recliner, a 10 dollar hammer to crush their beer cans and a specialized battery operated 80 dollar mini pribar to remove the back of the remote control so the wife can replace the batteries.
Most husbands think a spatula is for scraping grease or dirt off their shoes or carport floor(if they actually used their 800 tools, the car would not leak grease or oil). They A carving knife is for opening a cracker box while his wife selfishly says she is busy doing the laundry or she is inconsiderate enough to have not opened it before she went to her other full time job that actually pays her.
Husbands think that garbage cans have arms, these arms pick up his garbage that did not quite make it into the can. Husbands believe that a child’s lunch can be 3 candy bars and a soda because, they contain at least one healthy food group in the ingredients. Then he will complain to his wife as she comes home from a 12 hour work day, that for some reason the kids have been wild and she is just not doing her job right.
I thought there were still males who had their balls attached, not in their wife’s purse.
The OP DOES have a point. One which I made, some years ago to my spouse, was not going to be a point of contention in our relationship.
A woman’s vagina should not have a trigger on it. It is not a weapon of diplomacy, economics, or hostage resolution, (i.e. you or your children being held hostage as slaves because of a snatch).
Fuck that, and all this sissy ass, yellow bullshit about “real men”. Real men do not cower, nor kow tow, nor socialise for the sake of a piece of ass. If you do, you are fucking pathetic. Period. Non-negotiable topic.
Do I respect my wife? Yes. As in a mutually hostile, mutually beneficial, contracted relationship. We both have input, and mine is certainly no less than hers, and I don’t need any fucking female to take care of me. I was fending for myself before my teen years.
Sex is a weapon to the socially weak, and although the OP is certainly less than articulate, it represents a real problem in global society.
Accept your primality. Reach down between your legs and feel for the stones. If they are missing, inquire with the female with whom you cohabitate, and fucking demand them back. Take two beers and a bar fight, and don’t call me in the morning, or I’ll be on your doorstep the next morning for some very necessary “re-education” in manhood.
Sad, a nation of phallusless metrosexuals. Yet another reason to hate America.
This isn’t about having big cajones, it is about consideration of another human being. The OP quote is a peurile whine about having to give, when all they want to do is to take. Hopefully, we are more than a piece of meat - male or female. The guy who wrote that quote should always buy what he wants. That way he doesn’t have to take responsibility for any sort of relationship. Just using another person’s body to masturbate doesn’t magically turn it into something other than what it is: masturbation.
Certainly, in a sociological perspective you are correct. Yes, he was whining, but truth still remains stranger than fiction, yes? You are more experienced in life than I, so is that true or not?
The other side is, consider the base premise. Is there validity to it, in function? In his puerile manner, is he representing something that is valid? Have you ever “played the game” to get to “touch the temple”?
Say you haven’t, and you are either celibate, a liar, or a man without reservations of your own primality. Which is it?
Does everything have to be a philosophically tautological discertation to have validity? Or can we harvest perspective from life itself, without succumbing to intellectual elitism?
Have I ever given to get? Of course!. Actually, giving is the best part of getting. In fact, I have never felt like I was getting anything without giving. It never occurred to me that I was in any way giving up my “manliness” Somehow, I thought that being a man was seen in the giving and less so in the receiving. But that’s just me. And this isn’t just about getting laid. It’s the same in all relationships. The giving is what makes the getting satisfying.
Hi Mas, Giving IN?? Who would do that? That isn’t how we are in any healthy relationship. Blackmail doesn’t work very well in most cases. Just as it never occurred to me to not give, it never occurred to me to succumb to blackmail either. Maybe I’ve missed something. They never tell me anything.
thirst, you need to be careful. You could end up eating quiche - and actually liking it.
