He told us

“The prophet he told us in the hadith”

“a woman should not allowed [sic] to put perfume on if she leaves the house”

Is that so? What if it’s her house, and she lives there without any men? Who’s going to do the not allowing? Will the local mosque be sending parole officers to sniff her for perfume?

    Did the Prophet make similar announcements about aftershave?

    The holier the man says he is, the more obsessed he is with women. It’s tremendously unhealthy.

    I have always been fascinated by the way women get the blame for men’s sexual desire. Men would be holy vessels if it wasn’t for women existing. Apparently.

    All the religions do it: it’s like there’s a handbook.

    Exactly so. Men are programmed to want lots of sex* so that turns out to be the fault of women.

    *aka eggs are expensive, sperm is cheap.

    It’s a data point for why we should probably be selectively aborting males; they’re inherently less valuable in a modern economy and the ones that are left would be satisfied with much greater access to sexual partners.

    There, I’ve solved the “oh woe is me, what am I for” young male problem in one foul stroke.

    Re #6: the movie “A Boy and His Dog” comes immediately to mind.
