George, I enjoyed reading your post. I agree with you and do not understand how this is empowering. As a woman I feel that is demoralizing to women and makes them nothing but sexual objects. Yet, men are not supposed to look at women in that way.
As a woman with daughters that are in the age bracket of these young women, I see why it is so hard for them to find a decent man with which to have any kind of relationship. The "sexual revolution" did many things; however, it did not teach women and men how to have a deeper relationship built mutual respect.
Please share your thoughts on modern dating, I feel I would probably agree whole heartedly.
Thank you for the kind comment.....I think we'd wholeheartedly agree on modern dating. All of it is centered around short term pleasure rather than building long term relationships. The values both men and women look for in each other is frequently incompatible with creating a long term relationship, and so many young men and women are of high quality, especially men because they were never taught how to treat women or be in a relationship.
Not to sound like an old man, but the whining about work shows you are delusional. For example, "My first job after college was sitting in-front of a computer in a windowless office for 10 hours a day. I hated it". What skill set do you have at 21 that made you think you deserved any better than this? When you are that young, people give you a shot and there is no ROI on you for awhile. It's stewardship how we give young people a shot. With the money you made from that job you were able to get your own place, have a social life and probably build for the future. Sorry, but you sound like a whiny pussy.
I wasn’t complaining at all. I was glad to have that job and I put a lot into it. Doesn’t mean sitting in a windowless room all day didn’t suck. I didn’t whine about it then and don’t know. I find it annoying, probably like you, when today’s youth complain about work. I did a decade of 80+ hour weeks and am proud of it. I am not one of them.
