THIS is actually one of these “men’s rights” type posts I can get behind and say is a healthy thing and not some disguised toxicity or propaganda. Not all men want sex all the time and being a man doesn’t mean you consent to anything sexual or that you can’t be a recipient of sexual harassment. Being a man does not mean that you shouldn’t be able to tell a partner that you are not in the mood for sex and not have them be understanding and respectful. Make or female, having sexual advances rejected can hurt our feelings and when we are in the mood for sex, of course we tend to be disappointed or upset if we don’t get to have it- people are allowed their feelings when they are rejected sex but men and women both should respect it when another party doesn’t want sex at that time or at all. Our feelings of rejection or inadequacy belong to us and shouldn’t be externalized on others, we need to work inside ourselves when we feel that way to understand that people have moods the same as…
.. just because you cooked or because you want to eat doesn’t mean someone else is hungry too.
So this is the sort of “men’s rights” post I can back, though this really shouldn’t be gendered. Men and women both should be told, it should be normalized, that we aren’t sexually pressured by others and others respect our boundaries. Men and women both shouldn’t try to mock or diminish either of us when we say no to sex or place boundaries on what we are comfortable with.
