Denise Noe is still hard at work bloggin’ for the wrong team over at Men’s News Daily. Someone must have read my last post on her, the one that credited her for writing long, rambling, nonsensical posts that actually provided cover to slip in some progressive, nearly feminist assumptions. Anyway, she presumably got called to the carpet, for her progressive leanings are much more timid and this most recent commentary shows tragic evidence of prewriting and what passes for philisophical thought over there.
In our present well-populated world, we do not need to worry about too few people reproducing. Indeed, many of those reproducing include gay men and lesbians as witnessed by the recent “gayby” boom among lesbian couples, a boom facilitated by the modern development of artificial insemination. However, the fact remains that lesbian and gay couples do not risk an unwanted pregnancy that could result in a traumatic, morally troubling abortion or the birth of a child who must be relinquished for adoption or whose parents are simply unprepared to adequately care for him or her. This uniquely heterosexual risk could argue for special compensations.
Those damn homosexuals! With their carefree lifestyles of consequence free sex and endless lesiure time with which to plan opulant parades! Well, we straight people will just form a secret club, with ceremonies and tax benefits and inheritance rights, and we won’t let them join! So nyah!
On a more subtle level, there may be a widespread perception that lesbian and gay couples have an easier time of things because they need not compromise on the most intimate possible level with a member of the other sex.
It is terrible that the inherient, God-ordained differences between the sexes makes marriage an endless chore with absolutely no redeeming qualites. Did I just brag about my engagement ring in my last post? What I meant by “I got my engagement ring” was actually “If I didn’t need a cock around so bad, I’d be munching carpet in a heartbeat.”
Since there is nothing at all that can be done to reduce the tension between the sexes, we have no choice but to ban homosexual marriage. Any other option might involve giving up some of that sweet, sweet wifework, which clearly means banning gay marriage is the only viable option.
Here, Denise swings back into Classic Denise mode by dropping a random bomb that derserves its own response, possibly by Amanda, and then quickly scampering back to her original “point.”
Female sexuality appears to be more plastic, less scripted, than male sexuality in allowing for a certain amount of choice in this area.
I’m leaving that one alone. The point, you’ll remember, is that gays don’t get the benefits of marriage because only straight couples experience the crushing burden of unexpected pregnancy, and that really gets Denise’s goat.
From the viewpoint of those wanting to reserve marriage for men and women, it boils down to a desire to compensate heterosexuals of both sexes for the disadvantages that can be seen as inherent in their unions. Homosexuals do not need the advantages of marriage, in their view, because they have the advantages of homosexuality itself.
Maybe if the homosexuals would babysit Denise’s kids every once in a while so she could go to her own damn parade, she’d be more willing to share the tension-fraught glory of matrimony with them. Remember, gays, marriage is a flawed institution that’s no fun at all, and until you work to make Denise’s (and everyone else’s) straight marriage perfect, you have no right to demand a piece of it.
Nevermind better access to birth control, oh no let’s punish others because they’re having more fun than me, waah!
