Replying to a comment on:

After the travails of menopause and before the fogginess of senile dementia comes a lingering sourness of melancholy that mixes with sweet hours of friendship to produce the finest moments of life For men, maybe it comes after the keen edge of erectile imperative and before virility's illusion turns into a joke Then it's about relationship as we said it was all along but never believed

I propose that a good relationship is good because the people in it need very little emotional support. I know you're misreading this, so let me clarify: Of course I occasionally need emotional support, as does my wife. And of course we give it to each other. But the truth is that the amount of emotional support we've needed in the last, say, year wouldn't get most Californians through dinner. This despite that we live in a woman-hating desert backwater.

Women in places like the Middle East belittle the sex-instinct because they don't know any better. Women in places like America belittle the sex instinct because they think it's going to be roses and tenure and are disappointed when it isn't. In any case, it's still an oppression designed by men. Have fun thinking you're more enlightened for subsribing to it.

Don't blame your "merely" problem on being a woman. Scientifically speaking, at any rate, men should tend more then women to use and misuse "merely". Do the math.
