On Wednesday morning, the three hosts then on camera were discussing survey findings regarding non-marital co-habitation, versus marrying before moving in together.
The new white guy, Willie Geist, was doing most of the talking. He tried to sound “tolerant,” arguing that today, anything goes, and that it’s up to the individual. But that’s not what he meant at all. Otherwise, he would have argued both sides of the issue. Instead, Geist cited the supposed virtue of having a “test-drive,” but cited no virtues to marrying first, nor did black co-host Al Roker.
White Hispanic Today co-host Natalie Morales, who rarely says anything terribly intelligent (Roker is the brains of the outfit) did this time, and was promptly punished for doing so. She tossed in the old saying, “Why pay for the cow, when you can get the milk for free?” The men immediately turned on her, as if she’d said “God hates fags,” or something.
Geist was outraged, and Roker said he was shocked that he’d heard her say that. With Morales neutralized, the men then talked about moving in together based on such lofty moral concerns as one lover’s lease running out.
Note that although it was feminism that waged a successful, scorched-earth campaign against virginity—which has harmed hundreds of millions of females—it was the men who felt the need to prove their feminist mala fides.
Prior to the media’s, the schools, and higher ed’s promotion and institutionalization of promiscuity and polymorphous perversity, young girls were taught to die, if necessary, protecting their virginity. Christianity teaches that non-marital sex is a mortal sin (if it is between unmarried people, it is known as “fornication”), and Judaism forbids all sex outside of marriage. (However, this is not a biblical ban. The Bible does not forbid an unmarried man and an unmarried woman from having consensual sex; however, rabbinic law forbids such a pair from ever being alone long enough in an enclosed area, to have sex.)
Aside from sin, the promotion of pre-marital sex is part of a deliberate, feminist strategy of desensitizing girls.
And co-habiting with someone you want to marry is often not even pragmatic. Millions of people of both sexes co-habit because they want to have sex without responsibility, and/or use their current lover, in order to study Marriage 101, and then dump him, once they find someone to “trade up” to. (As far as I know, only females use the term, “trade up.”)
Nicholas,
ReplyDeleteDon't you think its probably a myth that premarital sex was invented in the 1960's? At some point - early 20's? - sex is part of a normal adult relationship and thats just the way it is. Natalie Morales comment was offensive for calling women "cows," IMO (I didn't see it).
What a I do really dislike is mainstream media/societal promotion of teenage dating. I agree with Dr. Laura that its a bad idea because "theres no where to go with it." Very bad deal for the girls, who really just want the status of having a boyfriend.
For Lionel: You may be inspired by college football player Collin Klein's abstinence (who I have interviewed) from the dating culture:
