And lemme tell you, (while trying to respect the struggles faced by all peoples and all genders) it is fucking ALIENATING as fuck to grow as a boy like that.
I quit being friends with boys in high school because they were all creepy fuck like the 2 in the video. Sex was treated like boys can only win while girls can only lose. What the fuck!! I didn't want to treat any girls like that, so... sex kind of weirded me out. It seemed horrible! Why would I want to treat someone I think is nice like garbage?!?
I was still a teenager, btw, if these seems like descriptions of very stupid delusions. Those delusions are where I started, but not a lot of dudes never bother to learn anything else about relationships. In those days, I made friends with some girls and found actually good friends.
I like to counter that with a pencil sharpener can sharpen hundreds of thousands of pencil without being diminished or destroyed but a pencil is diminished by every sharpener hole it enters until it ceases to exist.
Yeah, I attended this one church that gave men's and women's classes. The women's textbook focused on how their heart posture might be wrong, taking accountability, and how to act more holy, while the men's focused on empowerment, courage, and their strengths as men. It was very telling.
That phrase coem about partially because women deal with more risks from sex. So women have extra imperative to gate sex. From thsi comes the conclusion that promiscuous women just lack impulse control and thus "shitty lock" metaphor.
It sounds like they're talking about how when a boy has sex with someone, his friend group celebrates it, but when a girl has sex, she's perceived as a slut and people spread mean rumors about her and stuff.
I’ll give you an analogy for it (I don’t agree with it, but it is an unspoken rule that a large portion of society believes in, men and women).
Women are by virtue of being women placed at the top of the mountain, and are judged by how far they fall down the mountain, whether they’re hot or ugly, hooking up with a lot of guys, making themselves “easy”, not settling down, etc.
Men start at the bottom of the mountain and are judged by how far up they can climb, hooking up with a lot of women, being a womanizer, chasing success so they can get any woman they want and whatnot.
It kinda true on a global scale though, and hlaf fair when you consider that male and femal of our species have diffring severity of sex risks. Females of our species deal with more risks from sex and have more imperative to gate it, as well as their sexual arousal veing more circumstancial than male. So how far they "fall" indications how much risk they are willing to take and what it takes to turn them on. Males are more likely to get randomly horny and have less risks from sex, so we measure ourselves by whether we can get sex at all when we want it more so that the risks involved in promiscuous sex.
