Hear hear. I dislike being characterized as... that. I've got a wonderful, simply MARVELOUS selection of hangups that make sex really, REALLY unappealing at times. Not to say that I wouldn't love to make love to the right girl. But not only are we men more than the sum of our parts, we're certainly not just walking nutsacks and dicks looking to nail anything with an available orifice.
The societal pressure to have what people call a "healthy" sex life is unbelievable these days. I don't want to sleep around, damn it. I don't need that for my self worth. Hell, having mastery over my own instincts is a source of my self worth. I find bragging about sexual exploits to be the most juvenile bullshit out there. It's like a child who puts his father's jacket on and drags around a briefcase that weighs more than he does to pretend to be a grownup. But he's not really working on the Richards' Account, he's pretending. Guys who have sex with tons of women and never stop talking about it, they're just pretending to be adults. Adults have sex that means something and don't tell everyone, because Adults don't need the constant approval of moronic jerkoffs that act cool.
Yes, young men and boys and even adult men are raped and molested and pressured into sex that they don't want. Emotionally, I'm rather timid. Physically, I'm imposing but have little muscle mass and am rather just blessed with fat masses that LOOK like muscle. I could be raped by a particularly strong woman who could overpower me. I would probably have sex with a girl I was trying to court if I felt that the relationship would end if I didn't.
It's incredible, Men are supposed to be paragons of strength and dominance... but also not lord over women. We're supposed to be virile and sexual... but sensitive and soft. We have to HAVE all the answers but not ACT like we have all the answers. Men don't FEEL things, we just drink away our problems.
In today's day and age, NOTHING a Man can do is the right thing to do. And if you are a human being with real vulnerabilities and weaknesses and feelings, and you are coerced into a sexual relationship that you'd rather not be in, Bill Maher will laugh at you.
Deep Breath for me. Ha, that made me remember the old Onyxia fight. Good times.
Anyway, Bill Maher is an asshole. Always has been, always will be. He's an asshole. I'll shout it from the highest peaks. I'll encode it digitally into the DNA of my children. I will descend from the clouds bringing glad tidings of Bill Maher being an asshole to all humanity. I will recreate all of existence, and everyone will know at the most instinctual level that Bill Maher IS, indeed, an asshole.
But hey, if people are willing to pay him to be an asshole, more power to him, this is America. I just hope and pray that Karma isn't a real thing. 'Cause if it is, Bill Maher is right now at this moment huddled crying in a bathroom, thinking desperately of a way to get out of a relationship with a woman who violates him against his will. And I won't laugh about that. I try to be a better man.
