With the exception of invitro, there is no other way for a woman to get pregnant other than having sex with a man!

Why is he held blameless by the Pukes?

And there is no way they can say many guys don't benefit from contraception too. I am guessing there is quite a number of them quite happy not having to help pay for an unwanted pregnancy.

"studly". "Slutty" behavior is acceptable in men. Can you spell double standerd?

our lexicon reflects our stultifying and ubiquitous patriarchal social structure. Here is a little vignette to illustrate my assertion:

In the early 80s, a friend of mine was working as a consultant for a cosmetics company in a rather exclusive shop in the Galleria (Houston). After helping several pompous, disrespectful men (I think it was Valentine's Day), she and her barely-twenty colleague were discussing the word 'misogyny' and the fact that there is no similar word in the English language for 'hatred of men.' My friend's young work mate laughingly said, "I have the perfect word: 'mister-ogyny'!"

We might say that sexually indiscriminate men are fornicators, but that term doesn't carry the pejorative edge of the plethora of words we use to describe sexually indiscriminate women: slut, slovenly woman, trollop, slattern, slob, sloven, adulteress, fornicatress, hussy, loose woman, strumpet, trollop, jade, tart, slag, slattern, prostitute, whore, hooker, bawd, cocotte, cyprian, fancy woman, harlot, lady of pleasure, sporting lady, woman of the street, working girl, call girl, camp follower, comfort woman, demimondaine, hustler, street girl, streetwalker, floozie, floozy, skank. Gosh, have I compiled an exhaustive list?

Is it any wonder we have so many men in our midst who consider rape an acceptable mode of interaction with a woman? We 'ask for it,' don't ya know?

Seriously, calling men names wouldnt be effective because men probably would take it the wrong way and revel in it. But I would love it if women started calling us on it when we are insensitive because we are all guilty in some way.

One of the many reasons Viagra is overprescribed is people who don't know the difference between a rock-hard boner that won't go away, and actual good sex.
