Slut-Shamer Laura Schlessinger Makes It All Too Easy
LatestDr. Laura Schlessinger is not exactly a friend to other women. In a blog post today, though, she explains why men can have sex without repercussions but women are just sluts.
Dr. Laura is responding to a question about her double standards for men that engage in casual sex and women that do. The writer is apparently trying to say that both people should be held accountable for treating sex without respect, saying that it “encourages men to attempt to use women sexually as their birthright.” Laura disagrees, because she’s a slut-shaming idiot.
First of all, God and nature are responsible for the reality of a double standard. Women have breasts from which to suckle the baby born from their uterus after a nine month gestation. Women’s high-pitched voices and hearing are geared for the infant-mother bonding that miraculously takes place right after birth. Women’s temperaments to nurture, cuddle, coo, and protect are hardwired into their psychological programming.
Uhhh, also, “God” gave women the ability (some of us) to have multiple orgasms, nipples by which we can get aroused, clitori and, some of us at least, temperaments other than ones that “nuture, cuddle, coo and protect.” Dr. Laura, notably, does not strike me as much of a coo-er.
There is no question that men more easily dissociate love and sex. Young males in particular are open to sexual experiences for the challenge, orgasmic satisfaction, and status among other males. These qualities are not synonymous with femininity.
