From the moment the first upright walking semi-human male smashed-in the head of some rival and stole his female – men have fought, schemed, connived, killed and humiliated one other in the endless quest to demonstrate dominance and primacy over each other. Human history runs red with the evidence. And when you boil the bullshit away they all do it for a single reason – to gain the mating favors of women.
Think about it… beyond some food in your belly or a warm place to live, what motivates any guy to struggle for great personal and financial achievements if not in the end for the need to impress some woman with it all?
In every human society, sex is something the women posses and the men desire-we negotiate for sexual favors with the spoils of our hard work and cleverness.
The result of all this enterprise has been a long-held sense of entitlement in men. Since it is we who must jump through all these various and often times humiliating hoops in order to be blessed with the pleasure and company of women, males have compensated by designing societies and cultures in which women must play second fiddle to them economically. Historically, women have been constrained to roles that have limited their ability to hold political power or accumulate wealth on their own, thus making them dependent upon men for their ultimate survival and that of their offspring.
This sense of entitlement however, comes with a price. Bought and sold, possessed like property – women have sought their own form of compensation by quietly designing an avenue via which they can wield the maximum amount of power in that one arena where they set the rules… the courtship process. In this one human arena, they can cheat to get what they want and you can’t. Women accomplish this trick by having decided that the rules which men must abide by – rules of emotional fair-play and honesty – don’t apply to them.
Men, you see, are indoctrinated by most male cultures to allow themselves to be constrained by rules of combat – don’t hit below the belt, kick a guy when he’s down, etc. Imbued as skills of survival then later of actual warfare – these ideas still persist today in the form of various macho “street” codes of conduct.
We like to think that we engage in fair-fighting and honor in our pursuit of those things in life that will make us desired by women. Women, however, long ago decided that they didn’t have to play by these sorts of rules. Oppressed, they would seek compensation in whatever underhanded way was most effective for them. Women have always felt free to connive and manipulate along back channels because for centuries they’ve had little or no direct access to power.
These notions of a justified double standard still continue to hold sway over the modern female psyche. Enlightened modern society may’ve rectified many of these gender-based inequalities in much of the world, mostly in the West, but the disparity in honor still remains as it was hundreds of years ago. Women can cheat, men can’t – simple as that. And furthermore, you can’t even bitch about it… if you do, your masculinity is called into question. These are the rules – imbalanced as they may be – and f?ck you if you don’t like them, say the women.
