This same old shit showed up on my Facebook today.

I Don't Believe a Woman Can Cheat. Ever.

According to this male author:

Cheating harkens back to a time in our culture when women were considered property. The idea was this: your body in general and your vagina specifically, belong to me. Therefore, I also own the entire right to your sexuality.

See, men don't like women cheating because that means they're not doing what we as their owners want. Obviously.

If you then have sex with somebody else, my personal, vaginal property has been diminished in its essential value. It has become “polluted” by the sperm, sweat or energy of another. That is bad, so a woman is required to repress and monitor her sexuality at all costs.

Yes, turning down sex is a product of male repression of a woman's sexuality.

We truly believe we have a right to own our partner’s gentials. Which we don’t. But because of these beliefs, it’s typical to blame a woman for not wanting to have sex or for her cheating.

No responsibility to be dolled out here, move along.

I suggested that she probably cheated on her boyfriend because she wasn’t getting laid well at home for a long period of time. She smiled, blushed and shyly said “yes, the sex was terrible.” Out she went, hunting for something exciting. When she was finally “found out”, she was filled with self blame and recrimination. “How could I?”

The sex was terrible = The tingles weren't present

So naturally, she finds tingles and fucks someone else. All is well!

Until she's caught, and SUDDENLY she is filled with self blame and recrimination!

The author's response to her woeful feels:

“How could you?” I responded. “Sex sucked. You needed some good sex. Headline news because that’s never happened before.” I could see relief fill her body. And then I told her what I’m about to tell you.

I believe women can never cheat because I don’t own my partner’s genitals. And If I fundamentally believe I don’t own my partner’s genitals, then cheating is not possible.

What the actual fuck. Who is this fucking guy?

Presumably I’m in a relationship with an adult. As an adult, my partner is free to do with her pussy whatever she desires. She’s a big girl. She can make her own decisions about her womb and her vagina.

If I’m not fucking her well and she needs to go out looking, it’s her prerogative to get her sexual needs met. And even if I am fucking her well, maybe she wants a different flavor of ice cream from time to time.

So there you have it. Let's recap:

Cheating is frowned upon because of the old days when women were property. But they're free now, so they shouldn't have any regret or second thoughts about cheating. They're free and independent women in need of tingles, so they should be free to scratch the itch, whenever and with whomever they choose, without consequence. And if you try to hold her accountable, you are repressing her.

To say otherwise is to be a misogynistic shitlord.

People like this guy are fucking up the world.
