Men Virgins vs. Men Sluts

Well, it is about time we start considering these classifications as applicable to men as well.  These labels can very well be applied to men's behavior as well.  I do not understand why people are apparently so loathe doing this.  I do not understand why people think that a male that is promiscuous, spreads diseases, causes unwanted pregnancies is somehow a "stud," "big man on campus," or whatever.

I can imagine that there is a grown-up responsible professional woman who is very dignified and respectable.  She is possibly in her early thirties.  She has enough respect t for herself to be fully-clothed at all times out in public.

Perhaps she does view men as being either virtuous and pristine and respectable, or as whores.  Either-or, just like how public society views women.

She is condescending towards men that do this because she knows that men have developed emotions that make them weak and vulnerable.  She considers men that do this to be broken and psychologically damaged.  Sorry, but men simply cannot divide sex from emotional contact without some loss and damage to psychological, emotional health.

Some males may brag that they can.  But she fails to see how this, ah, characteristic is anything worth bragging about.  They distance themselves from their own emotions, thinking that they are helping themselves, but they are not.  They put a concrete dividing barrier between their sex and their emotions.  How is this psychologically and emotionally healthy?

If a woman does it, it is not the same for the following reason.  They can get pregnant, which is sort of a price to pay, or a "punishment," if you will, for having had illicit sex.  This woman must pay a far higher price with her life than a man in a similar situation.  The male donor might just skip town, or he might choose to stay.  However the two of them decide to work things out in this situation.  At any rate, he would not have to go through the emotional and physical ordeal of pregnancy.  And he possibly might not even be in the picture by the time the kid is born and has to be raised as a child.

It's simply that males do not possess delicate endothelial membranes, nor delicate sensitive mucous membranes.  So it does not manifest physically.  They do not get inflammation of the ovaries or the uterine lining.  They do not contract as severe a case of human papilloma virus as females do.  But make no mistake, they are whores that have sold their soul to the culture of loose, commitment-free s-x.

So in this way, a woman can redeem herself for having been possibly promiscuous.  She wouldn't even necessarily have to model her life after the textbook definition of "promiscuous."  She might have just had unprotected sex once, and this one act of pleasure brought about a giant burden of sorts that forces her to have to become more strong and powerful.  For herself and for her offspring.

Some Art Gibberish: When Art Isn't Art

My tirade against that so-called 'artist' that too many people were trying too hard to search desperately in vain for some intelligible explanation, for some form of logic and reasoning.

Editorial writers are trying in vain to excuse away this guy's outward public expression of racism.  This all is what is known as over-analysis.

Maybe, just perhaps, this guy is not secretly being sarcastic by holding society's flaws and foibles up on exhibit to force society to face its limitations, thereby leaving society no choice but to improve.  Maybe, just maybe, the guy is just a racist piece of trash.

Dispelling Evolution Myths Prevailent In The Media

juxtapose btw two differnt --bridge-- essay topics:  1) mcw, 2) dispelling evolution myth of males being good at math and science.))))

I’ve been seeing all these assertions, ((declarations]] that males are really good at mathematics and science -and- that women suck at it.

But I have a hard time believing this is true.
*I have attended two liberal arts colleges.
*I know middle class white kids.
*I attended high school with a lot of them.

Here’s the thing.  None of the boys displayed particular affinities for mathematics and science courses any more so than girls did.

[[gGirls were serious about their grades.
true, nNot all of the girls were serious about math and science courses.

When I took the introductory Chemistry course in high school, I was the only tenth grader in that class.  The rest of the class was evenly divided into boys and girls -- all in eleventh grade.  Most kids waited until eleventh grade to take that Chemistry class.  The introductory Biology course was required for all tenth-graders.  Of course I took this course also.   Apparently the other kids thought the routine Biology course was enough science for them.  They evidently needed a break, so they waited until eleventh grade to take Chemistry.  I am not sure what else they took to fill up those spots (made empty by their putting off Chemistry) in their course schedules.  The vast, vast majority of kids at my high school did this.

**MEntion also Hon Physics courses.  I did very well throughout the majority of the semester, and earned an A for the course.  At one point in the beginning of the semester, the teacher made an announcement to the class in general:  "Please understand that if you are doing well in this class, you are in the vast, vast minority.
**Most of the kids in the school did not take AP biology or AP chemistry

Now that I am in college, I've completed the standard two-semester sequence of introductory Calculus-based Physics.  I earned an A for each course.  I will admit there were a lot more men enrolled in both courses than there were women.  But I did see most of their test grades and lab report grades -- Cs and Ds.

Has noone read the news lately?

American high school kids absolutely loathe, and I mean they positively hate-- studying the mathematics and sciences.  This goes for boyssss as well as girls.  They think it is incredibly nerdy.  They think it is hopelessly dorky.  They are more worried about getting drunk and smoking that crack (hehe) than they are about studying for difficult courses.  Anytime they are confronted with mathematics, they complain that "they will never need this math stuff in real life."

They are more worried about their current social lives, who is sleeping with whom, who is dating whom, whose house the party this weekend is taking place at, who is assigned in the suck-and-blow-line, etc.  They would rather play violent, sick, nauseating video games and go binge drinking.  Well, sigh.  It's not even "social lives" as in, people they are genuinely friends with and have an emotional connection with and honestly care about.  It's just drunken parties and crap.

So don't give me any crap about how boys are better at math and science than girls are.  The truth is they all stink.
