Help me put into words why I find this repulsive

Evening all,
Pretty new lurker on the feminism board here. I've seen this on Facebook shared by a few friends and it just seems really grim to me. I want to comment but struggling to find words. I think it's the idea that loving someone whatever means you should have sex even when you don't want to. And the fact he refers to his partner as 'that bitch'.
Any thoughts?

Also it makes you fee bad because now you have to question the intelligence of your friends

Is the girlfriend a prostitute as it seems to imply she is. That's probably just one of the many, many reasons you're upset by it.

Oh god, it's even got the old chestnut of men thinking with their heads and women with their hearts. Because of course, men are logical and women are emotional. FFS.

But I can imagine some mouth breather writing it, ok.
But why would other people share it or like it? That's what I don't get.
I suppose because the idea that women shouldn't/don't really want it enjoy sex is so ingrained, and the idea that women are all just gold-diggers.
People hate women basically.

Never happened for one.

And two it's distasteful because it is writ large that the writer of this piece of fiction see's sexual relations with a woman as transactional in nature and that women have no real sexual desire of their own but give men sex in order to access men's financial resources.

I would ditch the friends that shared that crap. Or at least hide them from my feed.

Thanks all.
I wasn't going to comment on the original post as its full of people finding it hilarious Hmm
But I thought I would put a comment to my friends who've shared it, who are all women and seemingly thinking it's just so funny. Ugh.

It's not really subtly repulsive.
It's quite blatant.

What I don't get is that I don't believe anybody recognises anyone they actually know in these characters. It's just not real at all.
So, why would anybody share it? People are so weird.

I'd be re-thinking those friendships

M0stlyBowlingHedgehog · 27/07/2017 20:53

Completely made up crap, IMO.

Let's see - sex as transactional, relationships as transactional - all round grim. If any of my female friends shared this I'd think they'd been abducted by aliens and replaced by a Stepford bot. If any of my male friends shared this, they wouldn't be my friends any more.

I have no words. Apart from these (obviously). I'd either not reposed (done feed the animals and all that) or just say 'fuck off you mysoginistic twat'.

StealthPolarBear · 27/07/2017 20:50

Not to mention it assumes the mam is the financial provider and that the woman gives sex in return.

DJBaggySmalls · 27/07/2017 20:50

It sounds made up. How many women do you know would start sexual activity then give a speech like that?

chips4teaplease · 27/07/2017 20:48

What a pile of crap. Is it real? Does this person exist?
