Readers sometimes ask, “CH, if you were imprisoned in a cage of domesticity, how would you deal with the cramping of your style? What would do when your old lady is a faint echo of her former pumpworthy glory?” I’ve always half-glibly said, “liquor and hookers”. Now a reader happily affirms the essential ingredients of the CH recipe for the good life. We’ll call it CAP:
Careerism, Alcoholism, Promiscuity.
drunicusrex writes,
Careerism plus functioning alcoholism plus promiscuity is perfectly fine in men, so long as they support their families well, and raise strong, intelligent children.
It’s also very possible as a married man to enjoy a few drinks, keep a mistress discreetly, and be a fine father.
Most every wife will peter out eventually, in either looks or libido (often both) and yet a strong, successful guy is supposed to give up sex after two or three kids pop out?
I think not.Careerism, alcoholism, and eat pray fuck are disastrous in women. That shit ends marriages PDQ, and certainly trashes any maternal or parental instincts. Fuck that. Women who act like men make truly ghastly moms. (And stay at home Dads getting in touch with their metro side are questionable to say the least.)
Traditional sex roles = happiness.
So now wifey is falling asleep in the couch. Earlier from outside the window I saw some college girls heading out for St Pat’s stroll past our yard, towards the bars and shops around the corner.
Our little resort/college town does, in fact, have nearly as many temptations as any big coastal city.
But I have things to do at work tomorrow ....
perhaps I’ll just go out for one or two....
Executive summary: You reverse the sexual polarities at your peril and great risk to your family.
A self-confident culture on the upswing features a lot of men following the CAP formula for happiness. A few drinks, a young pretty mistress, and a diligently pursued passion (which could be a career or a hobby) is the secret sauce that inspirits men and motivates them to continue providing for their dutiful wives and paternally assured kids.
But, a sickly, self-negating culture on the downswing reverses this formula. Men become women and women become men. All sorts of crap flows outward from that toxic strew.
Careerist men: Strong, attractive, admirable.
Careerist women: Unfeminine, bitchy, untrustworthy.
Imbibing men: Fun, charming, sociable.
Imbibing women: Slutty, crass, poor mothers.
Promiscuous men: Happy, contented, appreciative.
Promiscuous women: Deranged, restless, divorce risks.
You’ve been warned.
