Cat discovers snow; David takes a few days off

So, there’s a whole bunch of MRA stuff I should be writing about now, and some Roosh drama, but, you know, my heart just isn’t in it at the moment. So I’m going to take a few more days off to clear my head. In the meantime, I would suggest keeping up with the latest MRA and PUA shenanigans by checking out the AgainstMensRights and TheBluePill subreddits, respectively.

Also, I thought you all might appreciate this video of a cat discovering snow for the first time.

And Happy New Year! Or did I already wish you guys that?

There are also a lot of misconceptions about hymens out there. They are not all the same, and are not thick, tough, hard-to-break, irrefutable proof of virginity in every female person everywhere foreverandeveramen.

I’m a “unique” example. I had ‘ramming sex’ at 14 in which I cried for it to stop when I was 14 .And a baby at 14 . Yes I had a baby when I was 14 . I will be 46 in 4 days and I have a 31 year old son . Which hurt the most ..hmmm…let me think ? Pain wise ?Doing my “natural” giving birth or being rammed ? Sorry it was having a baby . I went on to have pleasurable sex . Sorry if that is TMI.

re debt/prison: Technically it require a court order to pay, and (so far as I know) the only cases it can be applied is to child-support payments.

As to the pain thing… so I got nothing. Because lots of things which are fun hurt. Lots of things which are good for you, can hurt (If I were to start running again, I’d be sore tomorrow. Same for going to a climbing gym).

And I doubt you would call it rape.

OH>>>but please don’t compare childbirth to running and being sore the next day . Please I have done both . So have many . Again I never heard of anyone needing (or requesting) spinal blocks to go running as pain management. Or for sex . If you need morphine or an epidural for sex or to go running then ???? You shouldn’t be running. (or having sex)

Dallasapple — he definitely wasn’t making that comparison, just saying that not everything that causes pain is bad.

Pecunium — you have a climbing gym? Can you rent gear? And take me some time? It’s been so long since I went climbing…definitely a good kind of sore, even if you do bounce off a cliff face (lost my balance belaying and hit with my elbows)

Though…pecunium, idk about your knees and feet, but I’d need painkillers if I ran, maybe it’s on the list of things you’re just going to have to admit you can’t do anymore? It’s why I love swimming so much — easy on the joints.

Climbing seems like it would be a terrific workout. I’d like to give it a try sometime. At the moment, I dabble in a bit of running and yoga and that’s all.

I also personally resent that they would compare a woman and what she goes through being raped ,and a woman who consensually and willingly has PIV sex and immensely enjoys it physically and emotionally . I have experienced both so they do not speak for me. As well as I take insult for my fellow men whom they have categorized all as rapists .

Leave my husband,sons ,father ,brother ,men friends out of your delusion or whatever it is that’s going on with you .

STANDING OVATION

lana, you made two great observations here – the contradiction about PiV vs childbirth everyone’s responded to. I’d totally missed that nonsense too, though I’ve read that idea before and just wondered how babies are supposed to be pushed out without a penis to help create them in the first place. Do radfems think we evolved with IVF?

The other thing was the insult they’re offering not just to men, but to every woman who’s been raped, and really does know the difference between that and sex she wants and enjoys. Thank you for pointing that out, because I’d missed it too.

All I can say is I didn’t wait and long for Mr K for a quarter-century because rape was going to be involved. I only got a couple of paragraphs into that heap of whatthefuckery before the stupid burned my brain cells too much.

Wow, that witchwind post. Men only want sex more than once a month because they want to make women pregnant? Penile dejection? I’m so confused.

BTW, sex didn’t hurt for me the first time. I’ve never experienced pain at the beginning of sex since either. There are conditions that would make that the case though – maybe she has vaginismus or something and is generalizing from her own experience?

The stuff about how consensual sex typically causes tears and bruising makes me suspect that she’s just getting all her ideas about how sex works from some sort of horrible pseudo-feminist equivalent to a Chick tract, though.

Also, as kittehs pointed out, IVF is a thing now, but it was not a thing for most of human history. How does she think women got pregnant without having penetrative sex prior to the 70s? I wonder if the answer is going to turn out to be “parthenogenesis, which women could totally do until men brainwashed us to believe that we couldn’t”.

kittehserf

Argh, she probably does think that!

That whole PiV is unnatural line is so mind-bogglingly stupid. Has she (and other radfems who think this way) never noticed that lots’n’lots of other animals reproduce via PiV?

Argenti: I don’t know if I can run. I was good at it, but I never loved it (the sense of control, grace, and power, when I was running easy, sure. Serious training? Not so much. race days? They were great when they were over).

But I had to run, some, in the seven years I was in the Army after I got Reiter’s so I guess I could.

This is NY, there are gyms, and you can rent gear.

dallasapple: I wasn’t comparing anything to childbirth; qua childbirth. I was comparing, “pain = bad” to things which aren’t bad, and cause pain.

I’m still trying to figure out what “penile dejection” could mean. The penis is sad because the woman didn’t get pregnant, and she took the old “it has a mind of its own” jokes way too seriously?

kittehserf

Sounds like she read “sad boner” somewhere and tried to make a serious term for it. 😛

Cassandra,

Its the man’s secret club keeping us “captive” .When she said “dejection” I think she meant ejection .(of the sperm)

I’m not sure she’s ever had consensual sex either, unless my theory about vaginismus is correct. Tearing? Um, not to get TMI, but how?

On the virginity thing:
My first time(s) were extremely painful. I’m not even sure if I should call them sex since we had to stop just after inserting it like 3 inches.
I could see it being used a way to get girls to stay virgin though. Sort of like the “pot makes you panic and jump out windows” stuff we were taught. Like yes, some women have incredibly painful experiences their first time, but it still didn’t stop them. And yes, pot can make people get anxiety, but it’s not like all the time, so it doesn’t matter to most(like me).

Me too . But apparently we have been brain washed to get over the pain and the nerves get cut off from sexual arrousal so we are tricked into believing we like it .

Possible TMI time: I suspect that if I had earthly sex, it would be painful, because the few times I’ve tried tampons they were too painful to leave in. But I’d risk that, if Louis were here in earthly flesh, and it’s not like there’s no other ways of making love. As it is, well, across the veil it’s no pain, all gain, and the idea that some bozo would call taking joy in each other “rape” is abysmally stupid.

She’s probably one of those people who thinks you’re supposed to ejaculate on the outside of the vulva and just let it trickle in.

I’m not sure unless she means micro tearing . I certainly do not ‘tear’ when I have sex now.Micro tear ?(under a microscope) sure . Same as if we scratch an arm we are “tearing up ” our skin.

Speaking of working out ? Same thing we tear down ( with acids that come out through exersize) and it “tears down” our muscles and as they repair themselves we build muscle /strenght..
