Why is it ‘love’ and ’sex’ are the ways we use to get our basic human needs met? Perhaps love is really about our necessary connections with others? We need each other so much, we like to call it by its own mysterious word 'love'. What does 'love' mean anyway? We do know we need to be needed, we do know we need our lives to be meaningful. Pair bonding means we're socially prioritizing this one person over all other people? And society acknowledges that this is your right. And I have said many times that sex is a socially sanctioned method of getting affection. Unfortunately, sex has equated with the long term success of your marriage rather than affection. This has translated into a covert method for men to get sex pretty much on demand (if you want to stop your husband wandering...). We all need affection, but only parents and their very young children are allowed to be affectionate without a sexual context, and this, I think, is a serious problem for society.
And while we might need to satisfy our sexual urges, we don't need to only have sex with another human being, we can manage this by ourself. (Do you need help in the bathroom?)
Anyway this is where I started and then I saw this article from the Guardian. You might agree, women should go home, lock the door and stay safe inside her home alone until some guy decides he needs to break in and use her for sex (rape) and potentially murder her.
Or we could call it what it is: men can be extremely dangerous. Even to other men. Did you notice in there that men are more likely to be murdered by a man? And if a man is raped he is much more likely to be raped by a man. Men are more likely to beat each other up. Let's face it men and women both have a man problem. Yes let me repeat myself, there are scary women out there but their numbers are vastly fewer than the number of dangerous men. And if you want further proof check out how many women verses men are in prison for violent crimes.
And why must a woman need a man to chaperone her? Why can't women go out together? To me it's a case of men opening up opportunities for each other to gain access to that most desirable asset, a woman.
