Answering pertinent questions

Now, I thought this was a very pertinent statement by a feminist called Boadie MacLeod.

BOADIE: Damn, I missed my opportunity to tell off Ron.

RON: (aside)That's because they expelled me from their page before I could answer. (To Boadie) But, as you see, you didn't entirely miss your chance.

BOADIE: Let me quote him contradicting himself: "The nuclear family and its institutional facilitator, monogamy, serve primarily female interests... Volountary prostitution is actaully a very smart strategy, because it's a way of maintaining freedom from economic dependence on one man through for example monogamous marriage."

Oh, so marriage is such a great arrangement for women that some of them are willing to prostitute themselves in order to avoid it?

YOU'RE A TOTAL FUCKING DUMB ASS RON!

For this to be a contradiction, I'd have to be implying that all women are the same, that they all want the same thing at the same time, and that they only have one means to achieve it.  A very one-dimensional view of women, that I don't share and have never espoused. I see all humans - whether they have cocks or cunts - as possessors of a free will, with varying preferences and choices of strategy for achieving what they want.

OK, they're often a bit fucking bovine - or even ovine - about it, blindly following the leader until someone asks 'Who's the leader?', then finding out that the leader's following some figment of their own imagination. I'll deal with religion and its brand of dingbats in a later blog entry.

Anyway, back to the point. Men can be monogamous and jealous (like gorillas) or promiscous (more like chimpanzees), just as they can battle/compete or negotiate/cooperate. Women have the monogamous nuclear family as an option (if and when they want children, for example). Prostitution is one of several choices that can give independence, especially if children aren't wanted (yet, ever, whatever), and it happens to be one of the most lucrative. At one time, I met many young women working in escort clubs, using prostitution for example to supplement a day job or finance college. I had no reason to believe it wasn't an active choice that empowered them, as they didn't seem to have more or worse problems than other people I knew. 

Is human diversity a contradiction? Only if one sees people as automotons without free will. Does Boadie, I wonder? Or does she just assume that I do? Why? Whom or what does she assume me to be? Some MRA bogey man, perhaps.

Marriage is possibly a great arrangement for many women, and many men. Women seem to want it, and it would seem to serve certain feminine interests. But there are compromises. It doesn't come for free. Imagine being married to some hairy asshole with no intellect, who only thinks about money, cars and sport. Since that describes at least 75% of the men I know, I'd probably be looking for a lucrative alternative to monogamy if I were a woman.... I'd be a pug fucking ugly woman, so I'd end up settling for less, but if....if... 

Well, I hope this cleared up that little misunderstanding, although I'm not holding my breath.

As for "YOU'RE A TOTAL FUCKING DUMB ASS RON!" well, all I can say is, I also have a tiny little penis. But I'm still here. Ha!
