Wow Jelly,Im surprised that you posted something that want negtive(lol).
Good views though:Im constant-willing learner.
Melissa you're right about the double stand',but doing away with it...?
As a man,I feel that the double standard some what keeps women in checc and more hesitant to fucc around.
Sounds like some masogonistic stuff Im saying but it's vice versa.
I bet women would love that if men had the double standard against us(lol).
It would make many guys hesitant about infidelity and shit.
Maybe Im wrong.
What you think Ezo?
I actually agree with Melissa on some parts. Although, I know you K-loc so I know that you are not a misogynist.
Just my opinion here first and then my take on the discussion, so there are no misunderstandings.
My opinion: I believe that anyone should be able to have sex with anyone they want as long as nobody gets hurt or does it against her or his will. I myself have been labelled polyamorous and I must admit that there is a certain truth to that. I hang around with men and women who are all "bad boys and bad girls" and there are not many people I trust more than them. They are bad from societys point of view, not from mine. From my point of view, they are free, independent and brave. Girls and guys alike. They go for what they want and they dont care if anyone tells them that they are sluts, it is their decision. Ok, they may be sluts but whatever, sluts are great. I am one so I should know.

Society have to evolve as I said before, the same rules doesnt apply anymore. A guy who sleeps around is a manly man and a girl who does the same is a slut. That doesnt make sense to me. The same rules have to apply to us all.
Now the discussion.
Men find it more difficult to find a woman so I would say that thats the reason for them to keep their woman in control. Basically because, if a man and a woman would have an open relationship, the man wouldnt get as much as the woman would. Unless he is among those 5 % of men who actually does. 5% of the men have sex with 95% of the women. So he is afraid.
The term slut and the very concept is an ancient relic from the patriarcial society which believes that a man owns his woman. Somehow this relic is difficult to kill. It stems from insecurities. But I think that it must die. NOW!
People say that everyone should treat each other like they want to be treated, thats bullshit. It should be true but nobody really mean it. They only treat their equals like they want to be treated. Why else does women have lower salaries for the same job a man earns more for. Why else do people treat their subordinates in a bad way. Why else are there so many bosses who treat their workers respectlessly? Because they get awawy with it. Because the others dont have the power to affect their lives.
Everybody in a powerposition does everything they can to keep their privilegies. Noblemen, bosses, men.
K-loc, you know my point of view, what shit I take from a woman and what shit I dont take. This is a general guideline in my life. It doesnt apply only to women. It applies to men as well. Friends, relatives, girls. Same same. I simply dont accept people to treat me in a bad way. If I do, then f them. I have basically the same standards for friends as for girlfriends. Mutual respect.
If a girl Im seeing is being a bitch then fuck her. Im gonna hang out with someone else. Same for guys. If a guy is being a bitch (hehe yeah!) Im gonna hang out with someone else. It is their loss.
I can agree with you K-loc that the slut concept makes girls less prone to sleep around where they can get discovered. But thats about it. If they wanna do it, they will find a way to do it without being caught. This all depends on if we want a society where it is ok to sleep around or not. If not, we are gonna need a similar rule for men, not make them heroes.
I come from the opposite direction, men and women alike should be allowed to sleep around as they like, it is their life and they can decide whatever they want. So My proposal is to see those girls, not as sluts but as heroes. One of my best friend (a girl) (who is cute) is like me, more or less polyamorous. I see her as a hero. She does what she wants and she is not afraid of being a slut. Why should she? She is a player, she is like me. She is my partner in crime. This is the only one I have met in person who can reach my level. The only one I can discuss these kinds of things with. A hero, and a good person.
If I were to have a relationship with her, it would be open. I cannot bear to confine a girl like that to twosomeness just because it would make me feel more manly. I feel manly enough to deal with it. Then of course there is a choice, is it worth it or is it not worth it? So far, it has not been worth it, she is more important as a friend.
Still I dont judge. People judge others for the wrong reasons. They feel that they should have got what someone else got. Like they didnt get what they deserved, that they were cheated of their belonging doing as they said. Thats the problem, their belonging.
If a girl annoys me I will go somewhere else. But I will never ever see her as my belonging who has to obey me.
A relationship is a bond where two different people go together and choose to walk the path of life in the same direction, side by side and help each other on the way. Generally speaking.
A relationship is NOT! the fusion of two people into a singularity where only one directs the path they walk. Thats like being together with yourself, horrible thought, I could never stand myself.
You should coose your partner for her personality and the way she compensates you and makes you stronger, in return you do the same for her. If she needs to be changed in order to fit, go for someone else. You have no right to change her or to demand things from her. A relationship is based on rules that should be the same for you both. Or at least rules that you both agree on.
This is one of the best discussions on this forum for a long time. I really enjoy the input from both you K-loc and from you Melissa. It is very important and interesting as well. These things has to be discussed and most of all between men and women. This is how people start understanding each other.
I can see Melissa that feminism is very important for you (and it should be, break those annoying old patriarcial farts from me too!) and this could explain why you react to K-loc´s posts in this manner. However, as I said, I know K-loc. He is one of the good guys. He is discussing this phenomena and he has got some important things to say. Although he may not be a feminist like you he is definately not a misogynist.
K-loc, my man! Thank you for this post! Awesome job! We are truly fortunate to have Melissa join us in this discussion, we have a lot to learn from her!
