More MRA madness from Manboobz.
In the midst of a long and otherwise fairly tedious piece complaining about wives asking their husbands to do their fair share of the chores, Clint Carpentier offers some rather startling thoughts on marital rape laws, and how he thinks they help to make marriage a losing proposition for modern men.
In the good old days, he writes, sex was a wifely duty she was obligated to provide as per the terms of marriage. But since the advent of marital rape, sex [in marriage] is no longer a loving duty, so it has become whim and weapon .
Yep. Apparently being raped by your husband is really just a way to fulfill your loving duty as a wife.
So, Carpentier concludes, if wives demand that you do the chores around the house, and you cant rape them at will, whats the point of even having one in the first place? After all, he argues, in an age of washing machines and readymade meals chores are easy, and men can get once per day of blasé sex from any street-hooker or splurge on mind-blowing sex once a week [from] a well trained call-girl.

What an fuckedup asshole.
Warpy
(113,131 posts)He sounds like sex with an unwilling partner who is not really participating in it is the best thing, ever.
He needs to find some hyper religious woman who still buys that "wifely duty" bullshit to provide inert orifices for him to masturbate into.
Better yet, he needs to buy himself a Real Doll. She'll always be there for him and be just as enjoyable as a living woman who would really rather not, thanks very much.

(115,172 posts)Religious women don't deserve to be a servant and masturbatory aid for his misogynist ass any more than any other woman.
He sounds like the controlling type so I doubt a doll would do it for him. These types want to boss someone around. Kids too if possible.

(3,248 posts)Apparently, he thinks his withdrawal from the marriage market will cause much distress.
It obviously hasn't occurred to him that prospective wives might very well ask themselves "what's the point of getting married, if it just means I'll have a lazy jerk demanding sex and refusing to help out around the house?"

(115,172 posts)I'm reminded of this bit by Louis C.K.
We're so bad at sex and then we wonder why women arent like, really aggressive about sex. We think its cause they dont have as much desire as we do. Thats how stupid men are, that we think theyre just weird, women are like fucked up in the head cause they dont wanna just fuck all the time. If I was a women, Id just fuck everybody. Why dont they wanna fuck all the time? I do. Of course you do, cause when you fuck, you get to fuck a woman! When she fucks, she has to fuck a guy! Wildly different experiences. For a man, 100% of the time, its the greatest thing that ever happened in his entire life. For a woman, about 40% of the time, when shes being fucked by a guy, shes thinking Ill get over this in a week. Its not the worst thing. Im not gonna cry this time Another thing that proves how bad men are at sex is that after sex, youre looking at two very different people. The man just wants to lay there, be cool and the woman wants to cuddle
Why is she so NEEDY? Shes not needy you idiot, shes horny, because you did nothing for her. YOU DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. HER PUSSY IS ON FIRE BECAUSE ITS GONE UNFUCKED COMPLETELY. Of course youre fine, you climbed on and went KFHGSKG and rolled off. And shes on you because shes like WH-at SOMETHING ELSE HAS TO HAPPEN, THIS IS BULLSHIT!! If you fuck a woman well, she will LEAVE YOU ALONE. Thanks a lot buddy, zzzzz
Oh, Louis CK

(42,478 posts)Kind of off topic but I just finished rereading "The Story of O" which is one of the saddest books I know. O is looking for power, not submission, and something beyond orgasm--- and she only finds that power with other women, never men.
The last lines say she wants to die because her "Master" is tired of her-- he gives her permission to do so.
Seen as a living sexual allegory, the myth of the oversexed, always ready male and women reduced to nothing but physical meat for male pleasure, the story escapes the bounds of "erotica" and tells a gendered truth.

CrispyQ
(38,604 posts)Seriously, this asshole has nothing to offer. Nothing. Women are clearly nothing to him but someone to cook & clean for him & to satisfy his desires. What the hell is in it for the woman to be with a man like this? It seems a lot of their anger toward women is because they don't have decent relationships with women, but how can you have a decent relationship with a woman when this is how you view them? It's a catch-22 situation, but they don't see it. Instead, they blame women, when they are the problem.
You could almost feel sorry for them if they weren't so damned nasty.

(7,237 posts)Sometime shortly after I was married, my husband actually said (about sex, when I didn't want to) "But you HAVE to... you are my WIFE."
I was all like "WAIT WUT??? Hell no, I don't think so."
redqueen
(115,172 posts)who isn't equally excited to have sex with them.
Coercive sex, pity sex, renting prostitutes to use as masturbatory aids ... what the fuck is up with people who don't care whether their partner wants them?
MadrasT
(7,237 posts)I would think if the object of your affection was saying "No no no" it would be a libido killer.
But apparently not, if you just view the other person as a sperm receptacle.
redqueen
(115,172 posts)Exactly. Which is exactly how so many men think of women. The Invisible Men project on tumblr aims to shine a bright light on exactly that mindset. These men do not see women as human.

(22,336 posts)and in those cases they say it's because western women are evil man-haters or something.
These are also the guys who, no matter how average looking or even unattractive they are, are offended if really beautiful women don't date them. The types who are overweight and have a "no fat chicks" bumper sticker on their car. They don't just think some woman should be available for them - they think the specific woman they want should be available for them.
It's a huge entitlement issue.
Oh and then, as far as my MRA family member, his misogyny has this weird flip side of really over the top chivalry. So he really dishes out something that appears very charming at the same time as he's got these attitudes. Some times he'll be ridiculously (and IMO to the point of smothering) charming, but under it all this this base of control.

(110,159 posts)constantly, their right to have. when boys were young, my oldest would continually get pissed at the shows. saying the old man was forever getting the young hot. how ridiculous that was. or the ugly nerdy was getting the hot chick. he recognized all on his own, saw the conditioning and spoke out.
not tough to see what our boys and men are conditioned by
then the men are pissed because they do not get that
and the world promised them that.
