Tough Luck

I made the mistake of picking up a Vogue magazine that was lying around (one of the taglines listed on the cover caught my eye):

Good Mood or Good Sex: Do Women have to choose?

This was on the bottom right hand corner of the July 2013 issue of (american) Vogue Magazine. The article it was describing was titled "Tough Love", written by Elizabeth Weil.

Full disclosure: I did not get all the way through the article; after the first couple of pages I just couldn’t take it anymore; it was so nauseating and it started to make me upset.

The article was about American (or western) women taking anti-depressants, and how anti-depressants were killing their libido.

I started to read the description of some of the women interviewed and what they had to say.

From the little I read, it seemed most of these women were from the upper middle class.  They have everything: A career (or a husband that provides for them), a nice home, material goods, a comfortable lifestyle, a loving husband, children (in some cases), etc.  Absolutely nothing in their life to be stressed or depressed about (other than the usual stress of working, commuting, raising kids, etc – what most people, including men, also have to deal with).

One of interviewees claimed her husband was physically attractive, supportive, a good father, etc; basically, a good catch.  She claimed she loved her husband but that she would rather sit on a cactus (or something to that effect) than sleep with him.

WTF?!

So she would rather be tortured (because sitting on a cactus IS torture) than share intimacy with the man whom she promised to love and cherish for the rest of her life, a man who supports and is there for her?  REALLY?!

These aren’t women living in war zones or who are living below the poverty line.  They are well-to-do women who have everything women want (or so they say).  And they are STILL depressed?  They still feel the need to take anti-depressants? (which affect their libodo)?

What a bunch of selfish, evil, cunts.

Also, I don’t mean to sound callous, but technically women don’t have to be “in the mood” to have sex with their husbands.  Libido is actually more important for men because they aren’t able to perform (i.e. “get it up”) without it.  Women don’t have this problem.  In fact, many of them humor their husbands and have sex with them even though they may not be as into it all the time.  While this is not an ideal situation (it’s much better if the woman is also into it), you can still have sex.

The article by Ms. Weil just points out how self-centered women are.  They can “have it all” and still find something to complain about.

Men may not always want to take the trash out or mow the lawn, but they do it anyway (especially if their wives ask them to).  They don’t’ say that they would rather sit on a cactus.  I realize the two scenarios are not exactly the same, but I’m just making a point.

My god – how women have fallen.  They have gone from loving us to despising us and seeing us as just another inconvenience in their lives.  Or maybe they’ve always felt like that.  I’ll never know.

This is what awaits young men who want to start dating seriously and get married:  Frigid prudes who will withhold sex from them one day, after they’ve been trapped into a relationship.

It doesn’t matter how good of a husband you try to be, it doesn’t matter how good of a father you are to the children, it doesn’t matter how hard you work, it doesn’t matter if you support her in her career, it doesn’t matter how many chores you do around the house, or how many diapers you change, or how often you cook dinner or clean up the kitchen, or how much you spend on furniture or on gifts, it doesn’t matter how many trips or vacations you take, at the end of the day it will never be enough for her and she will be depressed or stressed and will not want to have sex with you.

It’s always “I’m too tired” or “I have a headache”, or “I’m depressed”, etc.  Always something.  I wonder how women would feel if anytime they wanted to have a deep conversation, her significant other would cut her off with the same excuses over and over.  I’ll bet the women would be pissed.  But only women are allowed to be mad at their husbands.  Husbands who are snubbed by their wives are expected to just take it. In silence.  Stoically.

Sex.  It doesn’t even have to take much time or effort on her part, and it means the world to her man, but even that is too much to ask of her.

And then everyone wonders why half of all marriages end in divorce, or why some men (who are otherwise considered “good” men) are driven into the arms of another woman.

Nasty bitches.  They’ll withhold sex from their husband for years, but as soon as they get a divorce, they’ll have a one-night stand with the first guy they meet at a bar after being newly single.  Gross.

There was a stupid post on some dumb blog trying to make excuses for women on meds:

http://honestmom.com/2013/07/11/why-im-in-vogue-magazine-this-month-and-hoping-no-one-in-my-family-reads-it/ 

I would honestly like to know why these women are taking these meds in the first place, when by all appearances they don't have to (as "feminism" gave them everything they ever wanted).  But rather than asking WHY these women are taking these drugs, she argues that "the medical community needs to solve the low-libido problem" (when in fact, it is WOMEN who need to look at themselves and why they feel the need to be pill poppers, which the medical community is only too happy to oblige).  Stupid ass-backwards logic from these women, but they are too blind and stupid to see it.  After all, feminism has taught them that women can do no wrong, and that if they have a problem, it means that someone else is causing it.  It's never women's fault - it's always the fault of somebody else.

Tea Leoni: She's played prudes on-screen, and she's probably one off-screen as well.

Women like these are the reason why this web log exists.  They were the catalyst for this web log.  The article by Ms. Weil just confirmed what I already knew but was afraid to accept.

It was difficult at first.  Years of conditioning by feminism is hard to shake off.  In the past, if some guy criticized women, I just assumed they were a sexist pig.  And while it doesn’t mean they weren’t, I now know I can’t assume that anymore.  Some women actually are jerks and deserve to be criticized.

Growing up I was told that if I just did this, or just did that, and respected women, that women would respond in kind, or that they would “like” me.  I was told that women respond favorably and positively to a “good man”, as opposed to a jerk.

LOL.  Sounds naïve, and I guess it was, but I was young and didn’t know any better.  Now I know.  Decades later.  So I finally decided to write a web log about this topic, since this stuff can’t really be talked about in public because you’ll be accused of being a misogynist, but more importantly, your livelihood and your family’s well-being could be adversely affected.  That’s how our politically-correct society functions now.  There is no free speech anymore (even if it’s the truth).

I know not all women are like this.  This is not a blog about all women.  Just SOME women.

Speaking of women I like: I would like to pay my respects to Carrie Fisher.  I don’t know what her politics were, and I don’t care (I’m assuming she identified as a feminist, though).  I am a huge Star Wars fan, and Princess Leia is one of my favorite characters.  Unlike the character “Rey” from the new star wars movie (the force awakens), Princess Leia never struck me as a token female character.  She was just a great character that happened to be female.  That’s how it should be.

R.I.P. Carrie.  We love you very much.  My condolences to your family.
