Hell I've had an interesting forum-reading day today - definitely got some form of attention deficit issue as I keep coming back here instead of finishing my work!!!

The most intriguing thing for me has been the juxtaposition (i think that's the word (help Ben)) of three threads. From "WG and Money?" with LongJon's recent post regarding the trustworthiness of girls in this industry leaping out at me; to RB's "workspace" post (and by extension Sharon's "Respect" thread) questioning the generalisation of WG/MG's as heartless (at least that's how I read it); to Stars Wars guy's "budget punt" thread with the link to a webpage with an article by an Irish former-WG who, whilst explaining that the various levels of prostitution are in fact the same (again my interpretation), highlighted the misogyny of this industry. This got me thinking about whether I would consider myself as a misogynist (I googled* it and so can you) and for a while there I thought not.
But when I had read RB's workspace post and had the slight tingling when she mentioned pie-hole, which in my mind is mouth and the only time I had been involved with "ramming" things in to pie-holes was when Temiraa face-fucked me big time with that delightful pussy of hers a couple of years ago (hence the tingling), it dawned on me that indeed I am a misogynist of sorts - or at least have a misogynistic attitude in life. Something I had no realisation of when I woke up this morning.
I guess what I am trying to get to here, and the reason for this post, is that I think that this is such an interesting place to visit, vent and verbalise - Long live ESA!!

And now I can get back to work (or wait for @chmoks next joke)

* google "prostitution and misogyny" - you get a more relevant description

Well, glad someone had a good day!
Not me, just found out my secretary thinks I am 'way too nosy'!
Must admit it came as a shock, first time I've read that in her diary!

A single sentence posted on this forum may mark a punter or wg to be an unlettered person in my estimation.

Conversely, the turn of expression of a single sentence posted on this forum may at once gain you admittance into the parliament of literate ladies and gentlemen.

I would not really subscribe to you having mysogynistic tendencies.

I would rather lean towards the Macchiavellian tendencies.

Cheers

@piet - you may have hit the nail on the head there bud!

I came by chance across the Macchiavellian traits, and as I started reading it, a cold shiver went down my spine. At the risk of branding myself a monster, I could identify with some of the traits.

Luckily not all, but I do believe that I am at least some kind of Macchiavellian "monster", hopefully in a positive way as I am aware of this trait now, and that goodness and kindness can be misconstrued for something dark and sinister.

So there is a light and dark side to all of us. Which one is prevalent depends on the moment. So the fight between good and evil continues on a daily basis.

Cheers

@piet. Absolutely agree with you on that. After your comment yesterday I spent some time researching further into both Machiavellian and misogynistic tendencies (especially in terms of prostitution) and learnt a few home truths about myself - cold shivers indeed.

I reckon there is a little of both in me; duplicity and manipulation in terms of how and when I punt; the sense of entitlement that comes with the exchange of money for the service - I'll be pissed if I book an allnighter and the WG is reluctant to be roused from what I perceive to be a between-rounds snooze or for a dawn-breaker! Maybe, as you say, some positivity may come out of this awareness.

And now in true Machiavellian style, I will conveniently forget that I may be a dark & evil bastard and look forward to manoeuvring my way into my next punt!!

The mention of Misogyny, but applying it in broader terms, got me to thinking that it aint a one way stream and misandry has become quite prevelant in society.
Men are ashamed or embarrassed admitting to misogynist tendencies...well, those with character anyway.....while women, openly display their distaste toward men....no shame.

With the rise of womans lib, focus seems to have shifted from a feminine homely non career orientationed female, to a go getter wants to be boss and equal to her male pier type. Is this by choice or have the times dictated a need to adapt?
Men are slandered, openly, from a-z. An article i read implied that society is taught misandry .
Why such open hostility?
Are there valid grounds for such intense rivalry?
Yes rivalry.
Is it that women come into their own, realising their worth and are no longer prepared to play second citizen?
Or is it that over time our mother's mothers, our great great grand grandmothers harboured a deep resentment toward men passed on from generation to generation.

What a pity we forget that men are from mars and woman from venus.
Our hearts beat to a different drum and our eyes see different hues.

A clever woman is one who knows how to make her man feel like he is the king of her castle.

I say...A woman should not compete with her male pier.
Her worth?
Well. It aint defined by his masculinity nor by society.....more on the grounds of how one may see oneself.

I prefer to not be a "woman libber" and rather be treated with kid gloves....like a lady.....the woman God made me.

but......pls dont step on my toes

for

i shan't step on yours.

Respect is a 2 way stream.

Jay,
think BenLay just called you an unlettered moron.
That, or he loves you to adorable bits now.

Phew, you rather than me! ;-)
