Over at Dalrock’s, Deti writes,
“I think over time we’re going to see guys refuse marriage altogether. If or when they want kids, they’ll offer kids but no marriage. That still puts a lot of power in the woman’s hands (she can sue for “child” support and win) but for guys who still want children but without the many downsides of marriage, it’s at least a viable option.”
Eh. State courts will just circumvent this by bringing back common law marriage, possibly even less stringent than the requirements were when common law marriage was a thing. It’ll be something like this: You live with her for a year or two, she’s your common law wife. You knocked her up and you raise the kid together and you provide for support and you acknowledge paternity, then your baby mama is your common law wife. You’re having sex with her regularly and she’s been your longtime girlfriend for 4 or 5 years, she’s your common law wife.
Women and the PTB will always find a way to make men pay. If women are giving up sex, men gotta be made to “pay” for that in one way or another. Women commonly have a gut feeling that if they are having sex, then they should get something in return for the sex they’re giving them. Those men they’re having sex with owe them something for the sex. Commitment. Marriage. Status of being the “girlfriend” or wife. A father for my kids. Ongoing financial support. The attitude is “I had sex with him, so he’s gotta give me something in return for that.”
Apparently, no matter what men do or do not do, they owe. Probably it has been this way forever, as men were always subject to military service (with women suffering the most from this naturally enough). Except in the olden days, men did expect sex for their sacrifices. Nowadays, married or not, there really is not this expectation.
“Women commonly have a gut feeling that if they are having sex, then they should get something in return for the sex they’re giving them.”
Let us examine this further. Do they really believe this? Can they not just enjoy the act? Do they think this way when Harley McBadboy is banging them? Or is just when somebody other than Harley McBadboy is banging them? When non-Harley is banging them, is it such a chore to go through the act in order to get what they really want? Just because men have more drive to perform the act, does this justify them exploiting this for all that it worth? Do any women fell guilty about exploiting this asymmetry of desire? Is this rent-seeking behavior healthy in the long run?
The short answer to the above questions is that men owe. The justification is: because.
As for the men who are shut out, they still owe; after all they pay taxes. Do these women believe that these men should pay for women and their offspring for any good reason? Probably they do believe that. The short answer is: they owe because they are men.
Well to repete myself…..
Women are biologically programmed to exploit men as they would any other natural resource. That is their default setting. Pretty much everything else flows from there.

I researched the strictly tightened gun laws in Britain and Australia and concluded that they didn’t prove much about what America’s policy should be. Neither nation experienced drops in mass shootings or other gun related-crime that could be attributed to their buybacks and bans. Mass shootings were too rare in Australia for their absence after the buyback program to be clear evidence of progress. And in both Australia and Britain, the gun restrictions had an ambiguous effect on other gun-related crimes or deaths

My daughter started school in 2nd grade at age 5 and wore American Girl dresses and read at a higher level than your average NFL football player. Her mom and grandmother were both Vogue models, and she looked like her mom’s little sister. The female teachers were merciless. Her hands weren’t even strong enough to hold a pencil, so we bought her sewing and macrame stuff because it strengthens the fingers. I could sit with her for an hour on the sofa while she sewed, and talk business with her as though to an adult.
But she knew her grammar and the difference between logic and namecalling. She would say things to her teachers like, “But Mrs. Jones, that’s not what the textbook says.” And she would come home from school in tears for being treated the way she was, by the teacher. At this point she was an 8 year-old fifth grader. We were dealing with a grown woman who ridiculed an 8 year-old for being smarter than she was.
So she stopped wearing nice clothes and wore t-shirts and boys’ shirts and jeans. Still not enough. We then put her in a private school, and they were more polite, because we had to give them a lot of money.
One day (we lived in the country, in a village of about 250 people) at the July 4 village picnic, we were dressed up. One of the other parents said, “She’s just so pretty, I had no idea.” The woman thought that that was a nice thing to say.
Fast forward 20 years. Now she dresses and cares for herself in a more feminine manner (she works in NYC, and wants to marry and semi-retire, per usual). I struggled to recognize my own daughter in the more recent pictures. Women are tough on attractive women.
My son #1 is actually smarter, by IQ anyway. (He pursues ridiculously dangerous activities, which I think is really stupid unless there is some higher purpose than adrenaline.) But he just acts dumb all the time, and everyone’s cool.

She was such a bitch it was almost unbelievable, like something out of a novel!

Related to the larger conversation that goes on here and elsewhere.
Men owe. And when the circumstances warrant, they pay. Because they can.
Self-esteem and confidence are intertwined, related concepts for men. Confidence comes from repeated experience in demonstrating that one is capable. Self-esteem is a by-product of that process. For an example, read on.
The following is from here , but I will post the words since the link may only go to the page and not the post. From John Henry:
———————-
As I posted yesterday, both of my sisters were in the Vegas concert crowd when the shooting started.
My sister Moira recently remarried to John Anderson, who had served in the Marines, stationed in the Middle East.
As soon as the shooting started he recognized the sound was automatic weapon fire and quickly ascertained the direction.
He got both of my sisters and their two friends moving immediately in the opposite direction.
When they fell, he picked them up. When they tried to hide behind portapotties, curled up with fear, he made them keep going.
He calmly surveyed the situation (while keeping everyone together and running) and guided them to an open gate that wasn’t jammed with panicked people.
John got them into a nearby construction site and had them take shelter in an abandoned building.
He then repeatedly went back outside, into the melee, to listen for any movement in the source of gunfire.
When he realized there were no second shooters, and the source wasn’t moving, he guided them to a nearby hotel, and to safety.
When I asked him how he was able to stay so calm in the chaos, he replied matter of factly, “I’ve been shot at a lot.”
Damn hero, he is.

So they want to expand the definition of rape to include “stealthing”? Previously, a new Jersey legislator tried to propose that it include telling lies. Feminists will not be satisfied until it is expanded so much that it includes all sex, prosecutable at the woman’s discretion.
As for “stealthing”, how can a man disprove a woman’s claim? All this stuff is boiling down to “he said, she said.”

we’re not even close to being in the league of BV’s ex and his daughter, but we’ve experienced all of it. my mom and one of my sisters have always been jealous of me. how that translated over time is that my mom just ignored me and justified not being there when i needed her by saying, “You’ll be just fine; you always are.” the last time i called for help – just an emotional support, not expecting her to drop her life (God forbid) and physically come to help me … i had two babies at home, my Youngest a newborn and already showing signs of special needs (was a very high maintenance baby) and her sister a two year old. my mom totally blew me off telling me, “You’ll be just fine; you always are.” the second time my ex and i built a house my parents came for a visit, and my mom who had recently got her beautiful dream home said, “Wow. I’m jealous. I have a nice kitchen, but yours … I’m so jealous.” she doesn’t even hide it. my youngest sister has always been jealous of me. she was always much prettier and more beautiful than i, had a more out-going personality, but always jealous of me. still is. our other sister is closer to her, and they’ve talked about me behind my back forever. our brother has always been closest to my jealous sister, and while i think his wife and i could be friends, my jealous sister would cause so much strife it’s not even worth it.
i’ve learned to dumb down and blend in. (though definitely do not have iq’s nearly as high as BV’s daughter).

“i’ve learned to dumb down and blend in.”
Yes, public school was nice!!! Just the sheer number or students in one grade (a few hundred) compared to a small private school… was very nice to blend in… I guess until that senior year with Mrs. Psycho lol.

2. THIS BIZARRE YET HIGHLY ENTERTAINING STRATEGY CARD GAME
Amazon
Exploding Kittens Card Game, $20, Amazon
From the makers of the webcomic The Oatmeal comes Exploding Kittens — a bizarre yet oddly intriguing card game that features kittens, explosions, laser beams, and sometimes goats. Not only does it come with back of more than 5,000 positive reviews on Amazon, it was also the most backed and most funded Kickstarter in history.

“Exploding kittens?” positive review??
As to female artists coming on to male artists onstage, I believe that it is feigned to titillate the audience.

Not to say there isn’t attraction between performers, after all these are people paid for letting their emotional connections run free, but normally these sort of people are total professionals … when they are doing their thing. In private they are often basket cases but switch on the lights and yell, “action,” and they know how to entertain.
Not exactly on the same subject but I remember watching a doddering old movie star from the 1940s sit in a wheelchair awaiting the moment when he would give out an award. The asst. director took his hand, helped him stand, and as he stood the years just dropped away. His spine straightened, his head came up, he walked up the stairs with a strength and dignity unimaginable a moment before. He spoke clearly, kisses his co-presenter with a slightly romantic flourish and came back off the stage. Then they rolled him out the back door, an old man again. For their intended purpose, show people are spectacular. Fierce and brave and focused. Outside of their intended purpose, meh.

ummm … wow.
do you think this is a current phenomenon or something that’s been around but just not admitted or talked about?
my maternal grandparents were conveniently separated a lot – he had a lucrative career in the states while she roamed europe. i can’t imagine either was faithful. they were both alcoholics.

I reckon,as it’s framed in the story, it’s a phenomenon of wealth and leasuire time available to women.
Poor folks and hard times don’t really land itself to such rationalization but I think the infidelity rates for women has always been rather high because of opportunity. Infidelity rates for men have probaly always been more or less the same because only the top 20% or so of men have been in a position to have a side piece

“… grandparents were conveniently separated a lot …”
I immediately thought of the line “let there be spaces in your togetherness” . A line from a page full of similar lines given to my class sophmore year of high school. “Pick one and write a three-page paper about what you think it means” said teacher. That line always stuck with me.
I have not, until this moment, thought to figure out where the line came from. I always just thought it was something my teacher made up. It is not. (thanks Google)
Kahlil Gibran – the “not Paul” guy:
“Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.”
Good thing the John Anderson fella from my post above (re. the Las Vegas shooting) did not subscribe to closely to this philosophy with those he loved.

Yes. I think that is the reason I remember the line – even though I don’t remember what I wrote.
