A new study is out decrying the dangers of romantic fiction for women in how it sets out unrealistic expectations and dysfunctional relationship practices for the Twilight moms who revel in it. Says the article:
Women who read romance novels can “suspend rationality” in favour of romanticism, Miss Quilliam said, including “not using protection with a new man because she wants to be swept up by the moment as a heroine would” or being persuaded to give up contraception a few months into a relationship.
“It might mean terminating a pregnancy (or continuing with one) against all her moral codes because that same man asks her to… or judging that if romance has died then so has love, and that rather than working at her relationship she should be hitching her star to a new romance.”
Back in my modelling days
Colour me unsurprised on this one. One of the many anti-male double standards in Western society is that it’s socially acceptable for women to gush about their porn (romantic fiction = emotional porn) but disgusting for men to talk about theirs. This is written into legalese. Compare the treatment of a man caught looking at porn at work during lunch hour [disciplinary action] and a secretary sitting reading the latest Jackie Collins twirling a pen between her lips.
And another article penned by Captain Obvious…. hahahahahaha. Without a man, there is no order. There is no natural check on the hissy-fit-throwing-narcisism of women and women-lite.

“women-lite”

I’m all for women reading romance trash. Generally they’re very similar and portray the message of:
-women is lost
-otherworldly Alpha steps in
-she is consumed by his reality
-she sexually submits to him
-all is right and women is fulfilled
-the end
The more women brainwashing themselves with this stuff the better, it’s a realistic potrayal of how male/female dynamics should ideally work and it’s a welcome antidote to the tides of feminist shit ruining most women’s lives.
Sounds like Miss Quilliam is a feminist. Look:
“not using protection with a new man because she wants to be swept up by the moment as a heroine would”
[the real reason she hates this because she knows men’s sperm biochemically programs a woman to be attracted to the man and she wants the attraction to be on the woman’s terms, not the mans]
“It might mean terminating a pregnancy (or continuing with one) against all her moral codes because that same man asks her to…”
[in the feminist utopia men provide semen and money and have no other say. if you want real equality then that foetus is 50% the property of the man]
or judging that if romance has died then so has love, and that rather than working at her relationship she should be hitching her star to a new romance.”
[man goes Beta, relationship should end. feminists see Betaness as the starting point]
