Re: What would you think of such a world?

I agree it's fucked up, but there's not a whole lot, I as an individual, can do about it. Hell, I thought everyone was treated "equally" for the most part until I got to college..., and there it didn't quite start sinking in until after college. I was ignorant, but it never meant I didn't care. Although I have to ask, how much of said differences is an "exacerbated difference"? I was basing my thoughts off of, if this was a society of Black Widows (spider, and femme fatale)...how would that change things? It may or may not, but that may have been an extremist position to judge from...Lacewing wrote: ↑Thu Dec 07, 2017 12:51 amWell, it does seem that men and women are very different, doesn't it? They have different priorities... and different things that fulfill them... and different strengths and weaknesses. So wouldn't it seem that their societies would reflect such differences too?Plato's Rock wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2017 11:01 pm Personally, I don't think that said world would be much different other than the perceived switch in gender roles.
I'm wondering why men think that women would think and behave the same way as men... when they don't in almost every other regard?
Could it be that men don't want to feel bad for how terribly and unfairly women and girls are treated? So they justify it by saying, women would be that way too? I don't think that's true. It's not your fault... or any single man's fault, that this is where we are. But it IS fucked up... and it really needs to change. We need to evolve beyond this. We fell into some gender patterns... like a bad marriage... and it's not the best of ourselves. We're losing out on a lot.
And it starts with, "They deserve it!". You, nor I know everyone's daily circumstances, or why they act the way they do. Fact of life. Ex; I had a guy just lay into me once because I hydroplaned into an intersection causing an accident with him. He just chewed me out because of it. Was I supposed to get back at him because he "deserved it", or did I? This was after, and more than likely the same month in which I had narrowly avoided a campus shooting by leaving campus an hour before hand. Said shooter, shot up her professional colleagues because she thought "they deserved it". She was a little bit unhinged, if not a lot..., but that seems to be bred in our culture. Can't really vent those negative emotions that often.Lacewing wrote: ↑Thu Dec 07, 2017 12:51 amIf I thought they deserved it, yes. I have no desire to be an asshole to someone for no reason, though. It's not like I have all of this energy built up waiting to explode at someone. A lot of people seem to, though. They spew venom indiscriminately. I like to be more focused with mine.Plato's Rock wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2017 11:01 pm If you had the option of being an asshole to someone without repercussion (which is often the case), would you choose to do it?
It depends upon the details now doesn't it? I figure if I were to espouse more detail, I think it used to be more of a "submissive fantasy". Instead of "erotic male heaven". The idea of screwing countless virgins doesn't appeal to me whatsoever...if I really wanted/needed to get off I have "rosey palms", and "jesse fingers" for my amusement. And I generally identify as more of a Romantic, and my prudish "American ways" is making me nervous even mentioning this stuff. Not sure why, especially on the internet of all things...Lacewing wrote: ↑Thu Dec 07, 2017 12:51 amAs a man, or a beast, or half of each? That's erotic! (That's actually an idea for one of my books I want to write.) See... that's a male Heaven. A woman wouldn't want that... although she might like to visit the male Heaven.Plato's Rock wrote: ↑Wed Dec 06, 2017 11:01 pm For instance, one of the odder fantasies I used to entertain while growing up was...what would it be like to be a male "Stag/Stud"? That I would've been essentially mounted to a "rack", and used solely for reproductive means....
