[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Wife wanted to know how many sexual partners I’ve had.  I didn’t answer.  She assumed it was more than her.  She’d laugh (?) if it were 2 very short term flings, no? When she asked my stomach dropped. I’m so crushed by this past of mine.[/quote]

And there it is. The crux of the issue.

“Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.”

? Margaret Atwood[/quote]

This is such a BS quote that "feminists" thrown around too often. Men are not afraid of being laughed at. They are afraid of false accusations or being made to look like the bad guy.[/quote]

OP is literally calling his wife (and mother of his 2 kids) a slut and invoking her dating past prior to a 13 year marriage in a clear attempt to justify stepping out on said marriage. Above, he opines that she might laugh at his true sexual past (highly unlikely). If that's not evidence of toxicity of the male ego I don't know what is.

Also, if you think this quote is BS you should spend more time with women. Try listening when you do it. It may help you.

You're obviously only concerned with the female side of that quote. It's the male side that is incorrect, where Atwood projects her own cartoonish idea of how men supposedly think.[/quote]

Not at all. The male side rings just as true. Why do you think the quote is so oft repeated? And here's the good news: it's not all men, and thank God for that. But men who marry a woman (who he preferred to have "plucked from a convent"? You can't make this stuff up...), claim to accept their past, have two children, then do a 180 over a decade later in an attempt to pursue female attention (and "plenty of it!")? And recount the story by calling her a "slut"? Sweet Jesus. That's a guy whose self-image is a mess. And exactly the type to whom this quote is directed. [/quote]
