The brutality of the male libido

The male dominance of their culture. The live in, literally, a patriarchy.

It still doesn't make them macho.

It sounds like you like their way of life though. Have you thought of maybe moving over here to teach English or study?

The food, weather and the vast majority of the people are lovely.

I don't let French men kiss me anywhere!

When your libido wanes and you look back on your younger days, you realise the veracity of the old saying that 'having a libido is like being chained to a madman'.

Never heard that before, very apt.

I'd agree with the OP in the sense that, in my experience and under the right circumstances, straight women have no problem with the "brutal" male libido.

Is the majority of this entire thread one user posting with multiple accounts? Are you really saying that the majority of women crave rough sex based on the search engine of Pornhub.

Yes some girls I’ve been with like what you state sometimes. It is not what they wanted all the time. Also it didn’t make me feel like my libido was brutal. The thesis that you are trying to argue is actually bizarre and smacks of someone who looks more at pornhub search engines rather than actually being with a girl.

More man-hating intellectual sounding nonsense sums it up I think

I wonder when we as a society will get over this incessant navel gazing and looking for someone/something to blame for or explain the ills in life and move on

I remember doing an essay on this in college. Is the op espousing the Catherine McKinnon school of thought that every girl who has sex is essentially being raped even if she consents due to the fact that she has been brought up in such a patriarchal society that the brutal man takes away her right to say yes due to the fact that he is a brutal male and females are scared and therefore have no opinion about consent. If that is the case then jaysus you have no understanding of women.

Do "they"? Jesus this really does all read like someone who got their entire experience of women from porn and bad drama.

In fairness, the terrible, ignorant book called "50 Shades of Grey" made 95 million dollars for the author, E L James. A lot of women bought that book!

A quality of decisive action is desirable in a male. From a female point of view, such a man can protect his mate and offspring, and provide for them. And males want to spread their seed - not just humans, most animals.

In the vast majority of men, this does NOT translate into "violence against women". Most men are decent folk, as are most women.
An occasional man can use his superior strength to force sex on a woman and this crime is rightly condemned and despised.

That male energy of strength and assertiveness is indeed attractive. Enuff said.

These men are probably sociopaths or psychopaths with zero empathy. Sociopaths make up 3%-5% of the population.

True and sold around 150 million worldwide IIRC, but equally mills and boon sell 200 million per year, with nary a spanking doggy scene in view.

I'd agree with that as a general thing alright.

Comes (in evolving misquote form) from 'The Republic':

…I may mention Sophocles the poet, who was once asked in my presence, ‘How do you feel about love, Sophocles? are you still capable of it?’ to which he replied, ‘Hush! if you please: to my great delight I have escaped from it, and feel as if I had escaped from a frantic and savage master.’

Put it this way, I don't think Syrian migrants feel guilty for desiring sex with beautiful women.

I was almost following you right up to here. Disagreeing mostly, with Dworkin I mean, Dworkins a twat of the highest order. But the Syrians have thrown me - I now have no idea what your point is!

Well, other than the ladies love your man meat. Presumably because it feels good, man:D

The Alpha male does exist then.
