Abstract

Sexual self-control lies at the foundation of every successful civilization. By encouraging both male and female promiscuity, men handed control over the terms of sexuality to women, and of course it was the worst women who availed themselves of the new power. Today, the sexual rules are dictated and constantly changed by feminists whose strategy for gaining power offers men easy sex and then criminalizes male sexuality by calling it sexual harassment, sexual assault, rape, or trafficking. The best way to avoid harassment accusations is to avoid feminist-inclined women. You might also consider the wisdom in adopting the old rule of politely refusing to speak to any woman to whom you have not been properly introduced.

Keywords: gentlemen, males, manhood, manners, sex
