great point interceptor.
i've said this before, but you articulated it better. i talked about this briefly when speaking about how the rich men in history prized women the way they would prize a purebred dog. it was something to show off.
they showed off their woman so that others would envy them. women became part of the dream of being rich and powerful. they were one of the key accessories to go along with holding political office, owning an estate, (in modern times having a nice car, etc.).
the average guy looks up to the powerful ones nad say 'i want everything he has' - and so they covet the car, the powerful job and the beautiful woman!
not the beautiful woman as a mate, but rather the beautiful woman as the prize.
this over glamification of women, leads the soldier to view her as his prize upon return as well.
whats hilarious in all this is that women are NOT being held up as prizes for their qualities as human beings. they are as fully objectified as you would a thoroughbred dog.
heck, let's face facts, when us guys are sitting around in a group we aren't saying 'wow, look at that chic. she's super nice to her man.' no way, we're sitting there going 'wow, check out the *ss on that chic!"
the irony of all this, and why i say most women are low quality, is that women have bought in to all this. they've come to see themselves as objects first and humans second. they whole reason for being is to have a guy 'want them' so badly that he longs for her when he's off fighting in war for instance.
while men seek to have that beauty that the rich guy would have, so women desire to be that woman that the rich guy would have.
its all quite pathetic really.
which is why people have got to unplug for centuries of this kind of mentality building up.
because while it works just fine for the women who are super hot and the guys who are super rich, for the other 99% of society, it doesnt work. its a life of delusion, of always wanting what you can't have. and the irony is even if you got it, its still an empty and shallow way for the sexes to relate.
