This is a subtle point that is missed. The great philosopher Otto Weininger emphasized this point as well: women are not immoral, they are amoral. In other words, they *inherently* are not evil, they are not good either, they just are.STR8UP said:He is saying that it is more pragmatic to view women as amoral creatures who are tempered by the virtues that society attempts to bestow upon us rather than seeing them as virtuous creatures who "slip up" from time to time.
Take the virtue of chastity. All men know OF the virtue of chastity in and of itself. Now whether a man holds up the virtue of chastity is a different story. A man may screw around with girls yet he still has this consciousness of 'I do not have the virtue of chastity.' Now he may try to rationalize his actions away (i.e. I am just following my natural impulses) and belittle the virtue of chastity but he still acknowledges the virtue exists - after all, he prefers a virgin girl over a used slut.
No girl is conscious of the virtue of chastity itself for chastity's sake. No, a girl is not capable of such morality. She simply views chastity as a way to drive up her sexual market value - to help her attract an even more high quality mate.
It is only men that prize chastity for chastity's sake. A man prizes a girl's virginity - no girl prizes a man's virginity, and she definitely does not prize her own virginity to be virtuous (she stays a virgin only because she is afraid of being labeled a slut by society)
A girl may ACT moral. Not because she is inherently moral (after all she is amoral) but because a girl simply absorbs her environment. She may have been told growing up: 'Good girls don't give it up so easily.' So she blindly follows what she has been told. This is why girls are so drastically hurt with the lack of a father figure - girls simply absorb their environment, when it comes to morals, when it comes to tastes, when it comes to everything.
The takeaway is this: girls are INHERENTLY amoral, she has no set of morals herself, she just randomly picks up morals from the external world (i.e. from church, parents, or from pop culture) and so YOUR job as a man is to provide that kind of moral structure for your girl.ketostix said:I have the lowest opinion of modern American women as anyone. But I'm still not getting how any of this is useful in practice.
Again, I'm not here to argue what you should deem *right* and *wrong* - all I'm saying is you as a man, have to stand up for SOMETHING. You are here to 'create your own world' with your own morals that YOU live by - this is exactly what the amoral girl CANNOT do, she cannot create her own morals on her own, and she faintly senses this - and thus she relies on YOU to do it for her.
And what is the AFC? The AFC is just another girl. THE AFC IS JUST LIKE AN AMORAL GIRL. The AFC creates absolute no structure, no moral rules at all. It is always: 'Anything you say dear' and he lets her get away with everything.
No wonder the amoral girl ditches the amoral AFC - he is too much like her, too much like a girl.
