Stephen Fry, you utter bastard.
Stop stealing my shit.
Okay?

I really feel for old Stephen Fry on this, because when I wrote much the same thing way back when, I got much the same kind of vacuous, taking-my-arguments-way-out-of-context, straw-man, knee-jerk, river-in-Egypt, grrl-power, never-mind-the-overwhelming-general-rules-look-at-the-random-occasional-exceptions bullshit in response.
ike Stephen Fry, I wasn’t saying that women hated sex. Or that they only ever did it for money. Just that – unlike men – it wasn’t their primary motivation in any way, shape or form whatsoever. Exhibit A – the lack of demand for heterosexual male hookers. Exhibit B – the rarity of female-on-male rape.
As a basic general rule, and with obvious exceptions in the huge diverse throng of multi-faceted humanity, men use money, romance or emotional security to get sex.
As a basic general rule etc etc etc etc, women use sex to get money, romance, or emotional security.
Don’t like it, tough shit. Move to Mars.

So funny. When I read the Guardian piece this morning, I thought.. "I know one woman who'll agree with Stephen"....
btw surely if you use sex in an attempt to get emotional security, you're on one huge hiding to nothing because you're just going to be paranoid that if it weren't for the sex, or if he ever found the sex better elsewhere, there'd be no security.
Stephen Fry did not steal your shit. We've heard this all before. It's hackneyed tripe and if it wasn't him no one would have taken any notice. This is not an original idea. it's still wrong.
You left out love.
I'm very, very sorry for you.
