Men expressing real frustration, unsociable urges and thoughts unsuited for polite company is far more interesting to me than "don't rock the boat" retards like you, who need to police everyone's actions with your status games and social shaming. This is one of the few places I've ever encountered, real or virtual, where I can see people being honest and baring everything about themselves in their interactions with one another, where the chaff of manicured chit-chat is separated from the wheat of truth as a general rule instead of the other way around. And it's constantly being undermined by dipshits like you wandering in from Facebook, or wherever you come from, and trying to impose your eerie hivemind conformity fetish here too, like some kind of brain parasite is using you as a footsoldier to expand your collective.

>pathetic and really cringey.
What is really pathetic is the moral weakness you show in constantly resorting to non-thoughts like "cringey" while trying to police other people's behavior. Hording piss bottles is literally more interesting than having "not being cringey" as a major personality trait.

>Like, we get it dude. You're still a virgin and you're sexually frustrated, so you get mad and call women whores or hide behind a no sex before marriage moral code to justify your poor socialization
Otto Weininger once said that men are commonly and jokingly called sex-obsessed because they think about women and fucking so often. But properly speaking, women are the most "sexual" beings, because their entire being is made up of sex. Even when you are trying to police people's social status and assert your faggoty little hierarchy of social respectability that no one cares about here, you can't resist resorting to the one principle your unconscious mind actually knows, and to which all the operations of your conscious mind actually boil down: sexual success is what bestows worth and status. Sexual selectors bestow it, and "worthy" (popular, respectable, "not cringey") men struggle to earn it. Your whole consciousness actually revolves around being reflexively annoyed by people who don't pay homage to this ground-principle of human existence, reflexively offended by anyone who "stands out," and then using various emanations of "You shan't receive the vagina" argumentum ad baculum to compel them to fall in line. Cringe, pathetic, "poor socialization," the ad hominem of "you only believe x as a coping mechanism for dealing with y," everything is an echo of that original subhuman principle of pussypower in exchange for male toadying.

I hope for your sake you're a woman. At least then you are just acting in accordance with your pre-historic, pre-civilizational instincts. If you're a man I cannot describe to you how bad I feel for you. You're basically a dog for a master who doesn't even let you sleep in the house.

Susan Bartky, to a certain extent Simone de Beauvoir, Esther Vilar.

Here's a good quote from Mary Wollstonecraft:
>Inheriting, in a lineal descent from the first fair defect in nature, the sovereignty of beauty, they have, to maintain their power, resigned the natural rights, which the exercise of reason might have procured them, and chosen rather to be short-lived queens than labour to obtain the sober pleasures that arise from equality. Exalted by their inferiority (this sounds like a contradiction) they constantly demand homage as women, though experience should teach them that the men who pride themselves upon paying this arbitrary insolent respect to the sex, with the most scrupulous exactness, are most inclined to tyrannize over, and despise, the very weakness they cherish. ... Ah! why do women, I write with affectionate solicitude, condescend to receive a degree of attention and respect from strangers, different from that reciprocation of civility which the dictates of humanity and the politeness of civilization authorise between man and man? And, why do they not discover, when 'in the noon of beauty's power,' that they are treated like queens only to be deluded by hollow respect, till they are led to resign, or not assume, their natural prerogatives? Confined then in cages like the feathered race, they have nothing to do but to plume themselves, and stalk with mock majesty from perch to perch. It is true they are provided with food and raiment, for which they neither toil nor spin; but health, liberty, and virtue, are given in exchange. But, where, amongst mankind has been found sufficient strength of mind to enable a being to resign these adventitious prerogatives; one who, rising with the calm dignity of reason above opinion, dared to be proud of the privileges inherent in man? And it is vain to expect it whilst hereditary power chokes the affections and nips reason in the bud

>The passions of men have thus placed women on thrones, and, till mankind become more reasonable, it is to be feared that women will avail themselves of the power which they attain with the least exertion, and which is the most indisputable.

Once again, you all might be right. But who cares. This is not a board for your frustrations about women illustrated through long autistic paragraphs. This is a board about books.

If you're reading a book on this topic? Make a thread about the book and discuss it, by all means. But if you're making what is essentially a post belonging in a /r9k/ women hate thread that's only tangentially related to books, it has no place here. And very often (not all the time mind you) it simply is just "WAAAAH I'M A VIRGIN WOMEN ARE SO MEAN WAAAAH" post that you'd see on /r9k/, again, just tangentially related to books.

We are not your therapist and this isn't your blog. Post about your sexual frustrations elsewhere please.
