Rampant issues with feminism....

They don't have imaginations?

In the olden days, we had magazines at least.

That wasn't what I asked.

I suppose that the modern feminist standard is that we aren't even supposed to think about women when we masturbate.

because 'the Big Bang Theory' is representative of real people...
(/sarcasm)

Don't be silly, of course you're meant to think about women. You just have to think about us taking over the world while putting your testicles in a vice.

When it comes to sex, no they don't.

At least not the way women do.

It's pretty well known that, when it comes to sexual arousal, men are far more visually stimulated than women are.

That doesn't equate to "no imagination".
Say a guy has no access to pornography (I'm including both still images and video here).
He has an erection, it isn't going away on its own, and it's starting to get painful. What does he do?

So should women give up those things that provide them with the greatest stimulation because some men are bothered by them?

I have some biblical issues regarding feminism....

During my upbringing, I came to see feminist ideas as the "official" truth, since all authorities and the media seemed to subscribe to it. I tried most my life to live up to the image of what a "good alternative/progressive guy" was supposed to be...

And it turned out it was all for nothing. Not even the girls/women I had admired as role models seemed to like the allaround nice guy I tried to be, the one they'd said they wanted me to be.

So...in short. I looked up to/admired feminists/women, I took everything they said as truth, and THOSE B'TCHES LIED TO ME!! !

I simply can't let it go. It's lika a christian upbringing, you can distance yourself from the religion, but the values are still kinda ingrained in you...

If there’s such a thing as porn for women, it revolves around the romance novel.......although women aren’t willing to pay for such typically male-oriented visual porn, they’re quite happy to pay for the privilege of reading romance fiction. So happy in fact that such erotica actually produces more revenue than does online pornography for men...

The hero in romance novels may be, as Ogas and Gaddam describe him, “virile, dangerous, and lusty” (p. 87), but he’s not reduced to a sex object either—as, so commonly, are women in “adult” fiction for men. In fact, the hero in romances becomes increasingly human—and vulnerable—as the story develops and, unexpectedly, he falls head-over-heels in love with the much more innocent (and less experienced) heroine.

These heroes are virtually always alpha males, to whom a considerable majority of women seem almost magnetically attracted. And romance novels exploit this preference in various ways. It’s not simply the hero’s physical prowess that is so compelling to female readers: it’s also his “status, confidence, and competence” (p. 95). Each of these traits contributes to his overall dominance—and such male authority, or ascendance, is what most women appear hard-wired to be susceptible to, as well as willing to submit to. Ogas and Gaddam, observing that studies have repeatedly demonstrated the erotic appeal of alpha dominance to women—from the sensory cues of the male’s voice, to his scent, to his movement and gait, to his sharply defined facial features...

No coincidence, then, that the ten most popular vocations of the hero—as Ogas and Gaddam’s determined through reviewing the titles of more than 15,000 Harlequin romance novels (!)—are doctor, cowboy, boss, prince, rancher, knight, surgeon, king, bodyguard, and sheriff. Moreover, swaggering alphas aren’t simply natural, born leaders and hyper-confident about their abilities, they’re also fiercely protective. So even though, rationally, contemporary women are less and less in need of a forceful male savior, they still find them immensely attractive as romantic partners.

Inevitably, men have become increasingly aware of this fundamental sexual cue for women, which is what accounts for the Pickup Artist culture made famous (notorious?) by Neil Strauss in his book The Game (2005). The seduction techniques delineated there are contrived (as Ogas and Gaddam put it) “to activate women’s psychological cues in the same way that Botox, collagen, and implants are designed to artificially trigger men’s visual ones.” And the main requirements for successful seduction is, well, to “always be an alpha” (p. 96)...

Call his wife in?

He has no wife and can't find anyone willing to sleep with him. He finds it immoral and repulsive to sleep with animals other than humans.

Have I covered everything?

...and, one of the articles deals with the angst expressed at the beginning of the discussion



it is just basic female biology

It would appear that feminism is attended by a certain amount of hypcrisy.
