I don’t disapprove. I’m just noting the inherent humor in providing the counsel that one should, “Marry immediately… but have a mature mistress.”[/quote]
Franklin may have done that, but that’s not what his letter says. He actually says “Marry immediately … but if you won’t, a mature mistress is better than a younger one.”
[quote]I’ve never suggested that “hot” was incompatible with mature (in fact I’ve noted the opposite can be the case), although that is GENERALLY the case (this applies to males of the species as well).[/quote]
You are entitled to your opinion. But, to butcher Forrest Gump, “hot is as hot does”.
[quote]A misogynist is “one who hates women” (courtesy of Dictionary.com).[/quote]
Please don’t cherry pick definitions to suit your argument, lest folks start grumbling about hoists and petards. From your source:
—————
mi⋅sog⋅y⋅ny [mi-soj-uh-nee, mahy-]
-noun
hatred, dislike, or mistrust of women
—————
Your mistrust and deep seated dislike of women is manifest in your entire approach to the subject at hand.
I’m not moralizing, just pointing out the obvious. There’s nothing wrong with consensual relations between people who treat each other as pleasure appliances.
[quote]I rather like women. Some I’ve even loved. What exactly – and please be precise (that is, use quotes) – have I written anywhere in the pages of Piggington that suggests that I hate women. This should be interesting…[/quote]
Sometimes you’re not the smartest guy in the room. Save the condescension for “hot” chicks without much else to recommend them–maybe they’ll be impressed with your “confidence”.
