Come to think: if she were hot, she would be able to cajole a far better looking or younger or richer guy in a sugar daddy situation, which will involve living like a queen in a much better pad plus a host of other perks.
Well then, this whole subject must be a lot of nonsense. /thread
Some people seem to defeat their own arguments sometimes, but they can't see it.
That's what a debate is, my dear.
I still don't understand your meaning. What are you arguing for anyhow? I really don't understand your points. I'm confused as to what you really believe here.
In any case though, it is not really important for me to understand or argue against you, because it doesn't matter.
This type of news seems to me to just be about sensationalism and indoctrination, to get people to believe that men are forcing women into the inferior position of sex slavery, which may or may not be the case (the sex slavery part, not the indoctrination part). Things always come down to the most basic points, which I guess some refuse to acknowledge, and that is: Men = rapy, horny oppressors laying in wait like ferocious beasts, and women = sweet, innocent angels who are being forced to degrade themselves to get along in a world dominated by men.
In reality many women are more than willing to exploit their sexuality for gifts as they please. Many women even exploit themselves for intangible things, like having men stare at them. That's why women dress half naked with daisy dukes and bare midriffs, that's why they wear yoga pants and skin tight jeans, that's why they wear swim suits at the beach. They pretty much exploit themselves daily for free. In other words, when women act like whores, they are degrading themselves. Shouldn't we all call women out on that? How they oppress themselves? Yet nobody does, because this form of female exploitation empowers them and uplifts them while it feeds men absolutely nothing.
Basically I don't think the "degradation" argument holds any water, because women are more than willing to exploit themselves. It is just people refuse to acknowledge that it is exploitation and degradation, because the forms they choose do not give men anything, and women gain everything. But as soon as men might gain something they want from women, then it is full blown exploitation akin to rape and it must be stopped, because men are getting something from women. That's when it is degrading and oppression, when men gain, regardless whether or not the women also gain something. Because if men gain at all, it is exploitation. (Like those pesky mail order brides, or like when an older man goes after a much younger woman, or with interracial dating, or whatever situation in which the majority of women feel like they've lost out on some power to men.)
Women are not allowed to fail at anything. They are not allowed to lose out on anything. Correction. The feminist minded women don't want to have their power base disrupted, even if the women who can benefit actually benefit, because they'd rather starve out all men than have a few women who are outside of the majority benefit from it.
Now is the argument about the cost of living in Britain?
Is it about men degrading women?
Is it the news indoctrinating people into thinking that men are rapist oppressors who are always trying to hurt women and force themselves upon them?
Is it about men forcing women to live with them?
Is it about men who own housing forcing women to have sex with them?
Is it about prostitution?
Is it about sugar babies?
This news is just sensationalist garbage meant to make feminist-minded "egalitarians" angry at men. That's all it is. They obviously want to curtail men and put men in a box.
My suggestion would be for women who get solicited to say no, and then find alternate living arrangements. I have had some disgusting people proposition me on the street in New York City. I didn't run to the police or the news and say, "Hey, this homosexual pervert invited me to some session to take photos but probably his disgusting pervert friends might have disgusting and evil intentions!" No, I walked away.
I would call out the problem as this: many women know that the man who invited them to live in their spare room want intercourse, but the women agree but don't want to pay the agreed payment. That's probably the problem. In other words, the agreement was sex for the room, the women agree, but when it is time to pay, then it becomes exploitation. They want to take but don't want to pay.
A good man is above pettiness. He is better than that.
