Arguments are weak when you try to justify how humans act and behave because other animals do it too. For example, when people say it is ok to demean sexual women by calling them "sluts" but it's ok for a man to be sexual and people justify that by pointing out that male animals go around spreading their seeds while the female is only there to bear the children, that's pretty weak. It's weak when you try to compare humans with other animals because we are more intelligent, have more complex thought processes than other animals. If people want to justify how society says it's ok for a man to be sexual but not a woman because of the way other animals act, then we should also be ok with incest and rape.
I never said degradation is associated with nature. I think that's purely a human idea. Other animals don't see a female having sex as degrading herself, only us "intelligent" humans do. It has to do with societal norms and culture. I agree with you on that most definitely. People make the generalization that women are less sexual than men because of the behaviors they see and they attribute this to hormones, animals, whatever. I think it's much deeper than that. Women have been told from day one that if you act too sexual you're a bad dirty person and no one will respect you. They internalize this thought as with other things they learn so it becomes hard for them to break away from it. Some feel guilty or dominated when they have any kind of sex, especially oral. They feel they need to love someone because sex without love means the man is using you. So women are always on the lookout so they don't get judged, ridiculed, abused, hurt, demeaned, etc. I'm not saying all women but alot do. Men label women as "sluts" and wonder why their partners can't be more aggressive in bed. Some men even feel that having their woman perform oral sex on them is somehow degrading to her so it affects their performance. Women's sexual sides are repressed and ignored throughout many cultures and even hated on. I just laugh when simple minded people attribute women acting less sexual to hormones.
Thanks mandinka for replying to my thread with intelligent thought instead of hating me because you think I'm gay haha.
