Two young women researchers are calling for a new form of sexual ethics that would allow women to have casual sex without feeling that they’re “sluts”. ÂÂ
Wow. That’s really avant garde.
But perhaps doing away with wooing is really the key to a healthier earth:
As if heartbreak, scandal, and STDs weren’t bad enough, now we have to worry about sex wrecking the whole planet. In a column for BBC News, Matt Prescott asserts that the male need to impress the opposite sex is behind the material excess that’s clogging up our earth, air and water with toxic crap, and that we crave eco-nasty bling like Hummers and gold cell phones because we still have the instincts of our Stone Age forebears. Back in those days, of course, a man’s possessions (say, a stack of bearskins or a particularly nice rock) demonstrated power and strength and were a sure ticket to sexual success.
C’mon, baby. Please? It’s not for me; it’s for the earth!
Yeah I want a different ethic where I can steal things from people and not be called a thief. It hurts my inner child.
Yes. How shamefastness ever aris is a historopsychological phenomenon that teases us out of thought as doth eternity.
This means we don’t have to take ’em to dinner or dance with ’em first? People really think that plan will work?
While gold cell phones are douchey and obnoxious, how are they any “eco-nastier” than regular cell phones?
Awesome! I was wondering what I could possibly do with this stack of bearskins.
Wait! Wait! Wait!
Speech hurts? Only if you are so insecure that you need the government to punish anyone who calls you an asshole. And there is definitely an asshole (or two, or three) involved here.
My response when some one calls me an ashhole?
“…and you’re not.”
There are people who have called me every name in the book, but I know exactly who I am – which sometimes includes being an asshole, a honky, a Kraut, a white motherfucker, a bigot, a racist, a homophobe, a cocksucker, an insensitive boob, a Nazi (as if these idiots had any idea what a Nazi really was), ad infinitum. At times, I am guilty of all these things (weelll – maybe not being a cocksucker or a Nazi). But am I soon going to be able to sue all these morons, or will I be disqualified because I am a white male?
What I find most intriguing about lefties is their absolute lack of a sense of humor, and their insane sense of how important (cool) they are. And, I would have to add, their comfort level with who they are (not). To a lot of them, contact with truth is like contact with poison ivy, only worse. Tell a leftie that a surplus only exists on paper, and they will break out in hives. “THAT CAN’T POSSIBLY BE, BECAUSE BUSHITLERCHIMPYHALIBURTON SPENT IT ALL ON HIS FRIENDS! HE TOOK THE CASH RIGHT OUT OF THE SURPLUS BANK ACCOUNT!)
If you can’t laugh at yourself, you should not be allowed any access to things that facilitate mass communication. In fact, you shouldn’t be allowed out of your bedroom.
“Don’t you dare make fun of me! Iam WAY too important to be questioned about my failure to grow up!”
Yeeesh!
Bring it on, guys and girls. I’ll sue your own stupid asses off! Words hurt, my butt. They only hurt when they are true…
He knows what our stone-age ancestors were doing?
Remarkable.
I’m not quite sure how I got that comment here, instead of on the previous post, where it belongs.
I guess it’s a good thing that I copped to being an A-hole, huh?
Oh sure ye sweet 16er will sell her fresh eggs to aging/childless/single haggarts then use the money to purchase a pair of DDD-silicones which she knows will attract balding, impotent billionaires spending millions on Viagra just to get the rod hot after which she whines that she’s being labeled a slut.
I blame Gloria Steinem’s sagging imperialist breasts.
They can have casual sex with me and not feel like sluts. They might feel soiled, dirty, used and humiliated, but not like sluts.

’cause you know, that whole stone age thing, was sooo long ago.
I’ll do you one better, McGehee. They can have casual sex with me and not only will they not feel like sluts, they can probably write it off as a charitable contribution and feel better about themselves.
Okay, which presidential candidate is offering to amend the tax code so that “pity sex” gets a tax write-off?
‘Cause he just might get my vote.
“…we still have the instincts of our Stone Age forebears.”
Bears? I thought we came from monkeys?
“the male need to impress the opposite sex is behind the material excess that’s clogging up our earth”
The male need? Why can’t this be written “the female need to be provided for” or the “the female need to choose a mate of material wealth”.
I am really tired of being told that everything is my fault.
But, but, but…….
I was BORN that way….. I thought I couldn’t be held responsible if it was, like, in my DNA….. dude.
What?? You say straight male gender behaviors arent a politically correct protected victim class????
