We All Live on Campus Now

Article here. Excerpt:

'Due process? Real life is beginning to mimic college tribunals. When the perpetrator of an anonymous list accusing dozens of men of a whole range of sexual misdeeds is actually celebrated by much of mainstream media (see this fawning NYT profile), you realize that we are living in another age of the Scarlet Letter. Moira Donegan has yet to express misgivings about possibly smearing the innocent — because the cause is far more important than individual fairness. Besides, if they’re innocent, they’ll be fine! Ezra Klein has openly endorsed campus rules that could frame some innocent men. One of the tweets in response to some of my recent writing on this has stuck in my mind ever since: “can anyone justify why the POSSIBLE innocence of men is so much more important than the DEFINITE safety and comfort of women?” And yet this principle of preferring ten guilty people to go free rather than one innocent person to be found guilty was not so long ago a definition of Western civilization.'

If some chick I'm ploughing wants to scream that then she's welcome to. Purple pigs will fly under their own bewinged power through the thoroughly frozen-over icy cold depths of Hell long before I tell her she HAS to carry on like that so I know it's cool for me to keep porking her.

I prefer the more gentle approach to such situations, but each to his own.

A man can plough a woman gently. Assuming that's how she actually wants it.

Well, I suppose my point of view won't go over well here, but all of the caterwauling we're hearing from the MeToo crowd about devilish males (much of which I'm convinced is nothing more than buyer's remorse) makes me glad that I am in a stable marriage, and don't have to have anything to do with that "scene." (Actually, it's not quite true that it doesn't affect me; any man can be the victim of a false accusation, and I'm convinced that those occur with far greater frequency than most people think.) Married men seem to be held in low esteem in the manosphere. We're written off as chumps. But all that's going on now makes me glad that there's only one woman I need to deal with, and I don't have to keep renegotiating everything with every new encounter.

Well speaking for myself, I don't think married guys are categorically chumps. Some, yes. Not all. I was married once. Our split was very amicable. We both behaved ourselves well, no foolishness, no drama. Went our separate ways, each keeping their own money, no real property/kids, etc. Marriages sometimes end and not all end disastrously for one or both parties. Likewise, marriages can and do last til death do them part. I don't believe marriages are doomed to failure, etc. And I am genuinely glad to hear your marriage is stable and presumably happily so.

I do however believe that most marriages are essentially not a good idea for one or both parties and that as institutions go, marriage is dead, and by and large, good riddance, esp. from the male POV. Ppl can and still do get married. Just saying that marriage is kind of like bicycling as a means of transport while being single is like a car. For car owners, life is typically a lot easier and if bicycling were ever really popular, it sure isn't as popular today as cars are.

To me, being married to a woman is like being married to a cop. If it's ever her word v. yours, you'll lose. Thus while she's statistically quite unlikely to falsely accuse you of anything, if she chooses to do so, you're fucked. Same thing as being married to a cop. Then if she chooses to make a divorce hard for you, like being married to a cop, she can -- sometimes quite hard.

It's all about cost/risk v. benefit. The cost/risk is generally quite high w/ the benefits usu. quite limited. Thus aside from extraordinary conditions, I don't see the sense in it for men. But I can see why women'd still want to do it, esp. if they can land one of the ever-scarcer "good ones" (i.e., a sort of naive, still-deluded very well-off fellow who still pedestalizes women and aspires to be all chivalrous and a provider, etc.).

I much prefer meeting women who just plain love to fuck and then fuck them vs. dealing with modern dating/female drama bullshit. I'm a lot happier for it.

All in all, the default used to be to be married. Now the default is to be single. Thankfully.

Though ploughing can always lead to planting a seed, in which case you reap what you sow. How Freudian! Funny, writing that made me think of that 70s song Wildfire "By the dark of the moon I planted..." though I don't think that was the original intent of the song.

sounds like somebody has been updating their profile on 'farmers.com'.

I heard that the word 'ploughing' is one of those 'secret' code words on those
farming dating sites. its like having an extra deuce in a poker game. clever.
