Professor Says Women Are Ruining Their Chances of Getting Married By Being So Sexually Cheap

In what some (the author) likely consider a groundbreaking assertion, University of Texas sociology professor Mark Regnerus is warning women that no one buys the cow when it gives the milk away for free.

In an extraordinarily trollish essay for the Wall Street Journal, excerpted from his book on the same subject, Regnerus makes a lot of sweeping generalizations about how the decline of marriage is a result of women boinking with impunity. He starts out with this quote from a 24-year-old guy named Kevin, a man of age who knows all there is to know about romantic and sexual relationships:

“Girls are easier to mislead than guys just by lying or just not really caring. If you know what girls want, then you know you should not give that to them until the proper time. If you do that strategically, then you can really have anything you want…whether it’s a relationship, sex, or whatever. You have the control.”

Nasty, Regnerus admits, but it works. And if it works, why would any guy ever stop lying to every woman he meets or treat them as people with any actual value? You can only get a guy to hang with you long enough to respect your humanity if you hold sex just out of reach for as long as possible, like a little bonbon in reward for eye contact.

To make his point about what dumb bimbos ladies are, Regnerus asks a girl named Kristin if men should make “sacrifices” for sex. She gives him a confusing answer (because wtf does that even mean) and he draws a damning conclusion:

Kristin rightly wants the men whom she dates to treat her well and to respect her interests, but the choices that she and other women have made unwittingly teach the men in their lives that such behavior is noble and nice but not required in order to sleep with them. They are hoping to find good men without supporting the sexual norms that would actually make men better.

My vagina is for teaching a lesson. If you’re not learning, I’m doing something wrong—to all of society!!

This cheap sex isn’t happening just because women are stupid and give the fuck without demanding a candlelit dinner first. It’s the result of technology, apparently. The two “technologies” Regnerus names are birth control—which he admits has been around for 60 years, so it’s unclear why family planning is a modern culprit—and pornography:

Online porn has made sexual experience more widely and easily available too. A laptop never says no, and for many men, virtual women are now genuine competition for real partners.

When I entered my teens, young women were taught not only to withhold sex before marriage, we were even told to be stingy with our kisses, lest a boy get the wrong idea. The advice would be scorned by today’s teen girls, which is unfortunate. It was the right advice then and it’s the smart thing to do now.
It’s nice to see men admit it.

“Sex is Cheap” was the ninth-most downloaded article at Slate in 2011.

Yet when they go to college, they are brainwashed with “all men are rapists/predators/oppressors”. And men are afraid to even say “good morning” to them lest a sexual harassment complaint be filed. I have worked around some women like this at an engineering company.

Are they thinking that “family planning” refers to married couples only using contraception?

I’ll spell it out for them. Young women taking the pill will be more likely to have sexual intercourse, because they won’t have to worry about getting pregnant. Birth control is a modern culprit, because it takes away a major consequence of sex activity outside marriage.

Does he really think that only married couples use so called “family planning”??

So the article's point is for women to be glad they had sex with a manipulative guy, because they could have ended up marrying him if they withheld sex.
Stupid and untrue point, because the manipulative guy wasn't looking for marriage, he was looking for sex with no strings and got it. If a woman sees through and dumps this shallow type of guy (I won't call him a man) or otherwise withstands the manipulation, he moves on to an easier target.

BTW, from the earlier comments and the unedited and unnecessary f-word in the article, what has FR become lately?

Being easy lessens one sexual market value and that correlates to whether a woman is marriage material. And its no shocker that promiscuity cases have a higher divorce rate. So why would a man give his resources to an easy woman, especially in a marriage contract where the other person can actually cheat on you and then legally take half your stuff?

Written by some guy who’s frustrated no woman would look at him so he comes out with this trash.
