Sending Studs to the Glue Factory

Note: this post was written before the recent news that sexual addiction is about to become a recognised “mental illness”, which only makes what is written here more relevant.

Something that I’ve noticed recently is the growing shift in attitudes towards male sexuality – specifically to the stud/slut double standard. Ferdinand Bardamu wrote this at The Spearhead, eloquently explaining this concept:

The sexual double standard arises from the reality that getting sex is easy for women but hard for men. The reason studs are respected and sluts are derided is because being a stud requires skill, talent, and practice, while being a slut merely requires a pulse and a lack of impulse control.

Recently, however, I have been attacked for my traditional “stud-ness” by men as well as women. I am no longer a “stud”. I am now a “man-whore”.  This shift in attitudes is important for two reasons. First, it categories those that are labelled with it in the same class as female whores. It is another arrow in the quiver for feminists to have their cake and eat it too. More importantly, by making the term acceptable for men to call other men “man-whores” means that “stud-ness” is no longer something to be aspire to. Instead, studs are being attacked by beta men, who are only doing what they think women want.

Being a stud is something some beta men no want to be, less they to get labelled a “man-whore”. Feminism is attacking game in all sorts of insidious and aggressive ways, but it might be this that is the most damaging. They’re sending studs to the glue factory.
