Feminist blow back

I think it's unfair to show an aging Judge Moore when they talk about his days as a Don Juan. For some reason, google won't let me find a photo to show me what he looked like 40 years ago, but his son is a hunk, so I suspect Moore back then was  too.

So he was young, handsome, and single, after all, and if he was on the prowl well, in the 1970's, that was the norm. But unlike ordinary Don Juans, he didn't make them pregnant, and often he asked their parents permission.

So why did the girls go along with this?

as one nice southern boy lamented to me years ago complaining that none of the girls at his church would date him: They preferred "bad boys". You see, the meme then was that they would marry the "bad boy" and he would change into a good husband, and they'd have the best of two worlds: A sexy guy who was, good in bed, and a good Christian husband.

A common woman's fantasy (nor is this idea limited to Christian gals: as the "shades of grey" series shows, the fantasy continues. Or read "Dona Flor and her two husbands"... ).

But what about all those girls who didn't "win the prize"?

And with the sexual revolution in the 1970's, we gals who said "no" were often ridiculed for being prudes or worse.

Billy Joel even has a song ridiculing a girl for saying no for being a  Catholic and saying no.

But now, every lady who had an unwelcome pass made at her is getting on twitter and blasting the guy who did it. And some of the bad boys were Democrats. (oh the horror).

 (and I suspect a lot of the guys don't even remember who she was).

The Don Juans of that era forgot one thing: as the African proverb goes: even a small snake has a tooth.

Or in this case, a twitter account.

and as the Klingon proverb reminds one: Revenge is a dish best served cold.

I have to laugh.

Even poor Uncle Joe Biden is being blasted for his "touchy feely" hugs. Shhesh.

I visited friends in California back then, and everyone and his brother were hugging me, which made me uncomfortable since I am from the more rigid eastern USA.

Or as my sainted old mother said, they were "copping a free feel".

and our older brothers taught us how to slow down the Romeos who came on to us in the car, not with a slap but with an elbow in the solar plexus (no, groin hits were not in the playbook back then).

the latest outrage is the Alabama Romeo had called his teenaged girlfriend out of her trigonometry class to go on a date.

Didn't we see this scene before? Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?


and of course, missing in the conversation: No one is noticing how women send signals out to seduce men.



any doctor can relate how they were stalked by patients. (usually female patients stalking male doctors, but also the variations of M/F, m/m and f/f).

the war of the sexes has been going on and pointing fingers since the snake flirted with Eve in the garden of Eden, and Adam blamed her for eating the apple.

So no, I don't have any good answers for this, since no matter how much the feminists would like to remake "toxic masculinity", it won't work unless the men are given estrogen to slow them down.

So what is the answer?

Uh, modesty for women, (Back to the hijab) ?



Sigh.
