Quote: Hairy, This is a load of horsesh*t, I'm sorry.
I think we have consensus, my phrase was "load of f-ing horsesh*t".
I don't think I have anything positive to add toward a solution and I don't mean this as a slam at MrsHD, but I equate her argument as academically/logically equivalent to "Eat your peas, there are starving children in China."
And as to the irrationality of having a sucky day only to be able to receive and enjoy a sliver of personal happiness via making love to your spouse, this is what I have to say:
Participating in the grand fishbowl of life amongst the general public often sucks. There is *nothing* irrational about having a relationship that is a bastion of peace amidst the turmoil. H*ll, my *dog* can make me happy after a difficult day by running to see me, wagging his tail and begging for an ear scritch or two.
And if we want to deconstruct the areas of societal/cultural impact on male sexual drives vs. love, I expect that those good old maternal instincts are going to have to come under the same deconstruction laser?
Sigh. I really do get offended on behalf of the male gender for the bullsh*t that is thrown at them in the guise of feministic advancement.
