i am into universal laws.

not to mention not being the authentic self, we are asking men to contradict what they are feeling which is even more absurd. to keep up the manly front that women are only a fuck and men need women for no more than that, we are asking them to deny the very human characteristic of needing/wanting a close and connected mate.

people talk about how we are not a monogamous animal. but we never take into account the almost universal desire to find the "right" person. deep within. that we never discuss but have example of being from beginning of time.

and we are telling our men to lie to themselves. that is mucho damaging, lying to self. 100x's worse that lying to others.
