Successful, Saks Fifth Avenue Women Selling Themselves for Rock-bottom, Wal-Mart Prices
How low will you go? Wait, it's not just about us this time!!!
There’s more than one way to skin a cat, and I can already think of about 7 for this one.
Recently, Slate.com ran an article “Sex is Cheap: Why Young Men Have the Upper Hand in Bed Even When They’re Failing in Life” (Regnerus, 2011: http://www.slate.com/id/2286240). I have to give the writer credit. At least it’s not another rendition of all the black women in the country singing the theme song to “Living Single” (nothing against, Living Single, just sayin’) followed by Bey’s “Single Ladies.” Finally this isn’t an isolated black woman’s issue.
The article mentions an experimental study on FSU’s campus. Men and women were both propositioned by investigators on the spot and at random. No women took the propositioner up on the offer, but 75% of the men did. This outcome is supposed to indicate women decide when consensual sex happens, and men want sex more than women point blank period. Let’s not get bogged down on unimportant matters like sample size and methodology, though; we forge on.
Porn, oral contraception, sheer numbers (of successful women compared to successful men), and lowered social attitudes toward sex and the increased autonomy of women are blamed for the cost of sex these days. The article goes on to say that women are becoming better and better (i.e., getting educated, making money). Meanwhile, many less successful men, seeing that successful and attractive women are still willing to bonk them, have little to no motivation to improve themselves. Consequently, women (in a quest for something the article does not fully address) give it up and put up with Junior’s crap. In fact, a photo of a young woman with an attache case in hand sitting in the lap of and looking into the eyes of a young man who is ignoring her while he plays a video game is one of the first things you see when you read this article.
Articles like this are trainwrecks: you just can’t look away, no matter how horrible it is. Something in your brain wants you to sear the moment into your memory and pick it apart so you can avoid a similar fate in the future. As you rubberneck to see what exactly happened, you see a few kernels of yourself in the accident. Maybe your tendency to try to beat the train, ignoring all the flashing lights, bells, and whistles signalling “WARNING! WARNING!! TRAIN IS COMING!! PUT ON THE BRAKES, DUMMY!!!”
What do you think? Is this article correct? Are successful women putting up with anything just to have someone keep them warm at night, eat their food, and make trips to GameStop with their joint credit cards? Do men just need to get out of extended adolescents faster and man up more? To quote “The 40-Year-Old Virgin,” are we putting ussy-pay on a pedestal, and it’s just not that serious? How important is it to copulate with someone who is just as successful as you? Why are we not concerned for the Target and Wal-Mart women out there; are they giving it away in the free section of Craigslist? Is Steve Harvey right? Why did Overton have to act so dumb and bumpkin with flashes of clarity here and there? Why are we even discussing sex like it’s a commodity to be bought and sold? Price of crude is about 100 bucks a barrel, should we use this as an indicator to raise our prices?
This and more….as the world turns.
