Two Sluts Do ‘Empowering’ Podcast

The headline at progressive blog Alternet:

“Guys We Fucked:” The Anti Slut-Shaming
Podcast That Everyone’s Talking About

Everybody is talking about this? Really? It’s a podcast, for crying out loud. But never mind that. Here’s the background:

Corinne Fisher and Krystyna Hutchinson have had a lot of sex — and they’re not afraid to talk about it.
After Fisher went through a rough breakup, the two New York-based stand-up comedians, both in their mid-20s, decided to pool their collective un-shame about sex and create a podcast in which they interviewed men they’d slept with. The first episode of “Guys We F**ked, The Anti Slut-Shaming Podcast” was released in December. Since then, their audience has grown quickly, and the show now has over 200,000 subscribers on SoundCloud.
“We’re saying, have a lot of sex and be proud of it,” Hutchinson explains at the beginning of the debut episode.

Here’s Fisher:

I was going through a really tough breakup and I was trying to think of different ways I could better myself as a human being. I had this John Cusack-like idea that if I went back and talked to different people I had slept with or had relationships with, I could figure out if I was doing something wrong. That progressed into Krystyna and I making it into something a little more empowering and a little less personal.

Here’s Hutchinson:

Hate stems from fear and I think [people who engage in “slut-shaming” are] just afraid of a woman who is empowered and sexually in charge and in control of her own body. And I also think that some people were raised to feel this way because the people in their lives didn’t have a positive attitude towards women, and they don’t realize that it’s messed up.

How many reiterations of this claim — that men who disapprove of promiscuity are afraid of “empowered” women — must we endure, before the voice of reason gets a chance to interrupt?

If sex is merely a source of recreational pleasure — always this, and never anything more — then the only argument against promiscuity is the risk of venereal disease or unwanted pregnancy. As serious as those risks may be, the stronger argument against promiscuity requires us to understand sex in its natural function, as the means of prcreation, in the context of discussing the need to form enduring pair-bonds to provide secure upbringing for children.

Promiscuous people become habituated to having a variety of sexual partners, beginning and ending “relationships” as soon as they or their partner get bored with it. A person in their 20s who has been sexually active since their mid-teens, who has gone through a half-dozen “relationships,” as well as a number of casual short-term “hook-ups,” will have difficulty adjusting to married life, because the habit of continually seeking new partners is ingrained in their personality.

So a promiscuous person — however desirable they may be as a partner for recreational sex — is undesirable as a spouse, because of the likelihood that they will be adulterous. A guy doesn’t want to marry a slut because he figures she’ll become bored with monogamy and cheat on him. The prospect of marriage to such a woman entails a high risk that the unlucky guy’s future will include child-support payments and weekend visitation. Married women — and single women who would like to get married — disdain sluts because promiscuous women make unencumbered sex readily available, thus reducing the incentives for men to get married and stay married.

The dignity of all women, and the security of their children, is impaired by the shameless promiscuity of sluts. Sure, “it takes two to tango,” and men are responsible for their own actions, but women whose behavior fosters an expectation of the easy availability of sexual “hook-ups” are harming other women’s prospects for happiness.

Corinne Fisher and Krystyna Hutchinson probably don’t discuss that perspective on “Guys We Fucked,” and I’ll also guess that amid all their chatter about how “empowering” it is to sleep around, they never discuss promiscuity as symptomatic of low self-esteem.

The correlation between promiscuity and emotional disorders is not random. You hear young single guys talking about this problem a lot: “Hey, I met this girl at a party and we hooked up right away. The sex was awesome at first, but we broke up after a couple of weeks because she turned out to be The Psycho Bitch From Hell.”

Gee, do you think that’s a coincidence?

Crazy women often have “issues” with substance abuse and difficulty maintaining relationships, so when you meet a drunk chick at a party or in a bar, and she’s eager to hook up with you, there is a non-zero chance that she’s The Psycho Bitch From Hell.

Women who use sex as a way of dealing with self-esteem problems usually wind up getting dumped by a series of users and losers, experiences that only reinforce their self-esteem deficits. They can talk all they want about how “empowered” they are. They’re not.

    From the male end of things… no woman wants a male slut either. Not for any length of time.

    As for recreational pleasure… if you can’t figure it out yourself, there are battery operated devices that work just fine… and don’t give you gonorrhea. (Honest… got told by a sailor once that prostitutes in Thailand were pretty much the exact same thing as masturbation except with disease risk… and since his hand wouldn’t kill him… )

    I just can’t wait for the resident troll to show up for this one. It’s always fun being told conservatism is going to die out by someone from an ideology where abortion is almost the law – unless you want to be pregnancy-shamed out of the liberal treehouse.

    As for the whole “I have a lot of sex and I’m not ashamed” bit: yawn. Good for you, sweetheart. Pardon me if I don’t celebrate your self destructive behavior and instead pity your extremely short-sighted slavery to the whims of your body and hormones. Does that bother you? Maybe it’s time to do a little soul searching and determine why some random stranger not approving of your lifestyle matters enough to bother you. (Hint: it’s called projection, and you need help.) As for me, I don’t particularly care what strangers on the internet – or anywhere else, for that matter – think of my decision not to be a raging whore with the slut equivalent of a 24hr drive thru service. Again, if my not caring about your outrage over my lack of sluttiness bothers you, seek help, you’re projecting.

    “slut-shaming” aka a raised eyebrow at what amounts to using another person to masturbate with, interferes with the Left’s goal of making sure most people are incapable of committed relationships. The State is to substitute for Parent/Spouse/God. Which explains why single women vote Left and married women vote Liberty (generally)

    (Sorry ladies)
    Have you ever noticed that women having done something stupid or demeaning or cruel or mean or that was contrary to their Bf’s/Husband’s wishes or requests will suddenly claim this same act of human error or misjudgement has somehow empowered them and that Men are afraid of them and their ability to act stupid, demeaning etc.?

    Men never do this. Men screw up and they’ve got a thousand other excuses but they don’t say they were empowered by it or that their women are afraid of them because of their ability to act stupid or demeaning, etc.

    Ladies: Most times unless it hits us in our wallet or our heart, we’re not afraid of you or your actions. (contrary to what obviously makes you cream your jeans)
    We just think they make you less of the person we thought you were or than what you deserve to be or that your actions and attitude make you look stupid, demeaning etc.

    Men are simple (and no that doesn’t necessarily mean stupid) about most everything in their lives.

    Women? Women will take the simplest most uncomplicated situation and blow it up into a conspiracy of such a degree of complication that no man in their right mind could have ever thought of (unless it was another woman) or tried to accomplish.

    When you act like a slut, we are not afraid of you. When you act “strong and opinionated” we are not afraid of you. Generally, we are not afraid of you, period.
    We might just think you’re acting like an asshole.

    See how simple that is?

    If you haven’t had a chance to click over to the “My Vagina Doesn’t Smell Like Shame” hoot-fest, it contains such gems as:

    “But the boys’ club has nothing on us. Nothing. I don’t want to start a battle of mine’s better than yours. But it is. The pussy can have multiple orgasms. Dramatic orgasms. Out if this world orgasms. She can give birth. And, my God, she’s beautiful. She’s pretty f*cking
    phenomenal and anyone who doesn’t see that is just terrified or at the very least, intimidated.

    They’re terrified of the power between their own legs or terrified that if women fell in love with their pussies and operated them to their fullest, women would be the most powerful creatures on the planet.”

    enduring pair-bonds families to provide secure upbringing for children.

    There…FTFY, Breeze – I despise the clinical, Utilitarian term ‘pair-bond’. The key for a secure upbringing is that the parents create an atmosphere filled with Love, Honor, and Virtue – this is a Family, and not simply an marital arrangement.

    Yes, the state wants people to be sex addicts with no other ambition. True. But what about the people themselves? They are giving themselves over to their basest urges; fleeing responsibility for cheap thrills; falling for every temptation, and all with nothing more than a simple “it’s OK, just go ahead” written into the script of every TV show.

    The state taking control of them is opportunism.

    The people themselves are the ones to blame for falling for it.

    When I was a younger single guy, the psycho/ slut correlation was so standard and well-known that it fit in many guys’ weekend plans. Crazy women are very amorous, and all men know it. Stacy calls this phenomenon a “problem”, but I think your average sex-hungry 22 year old guy feels differently. From the lizard-brain male perspective, psycho women only become a problem when you let them get close. Otherwise, they represent plentiful and almost guaranteed terrific sex. The more “empowered” and emotionally unstable women there are around, the better.
    Feminists live in delusion, they won’t just sit down and do the math: Men aren’t “threatened’ by sexually promiscuous women, certainly not the male chauvinists who are primed to use women like objects. They love sluts! Slut-shaming mainly comes from other women who are trying to establish healthy relationships with men. This all just confirms my finding that women generally don’t understand or refuse to understand men and what makes them tick.

    Oh, I know. But there is particularly stupid troll who is positively giddy with the thought of conservatives dying out in the near future despite the fact conservatives have a thing for keeping their progeny alive while liberals gleefully hack their way through their own uteri to rid themselves of the inconvenience of having to bear children. The lack of logic is really quite breathtaking, you must admit.

  35. Dave
    March 15th, 2014 @ 8:38 am

    I don’t disagree with you Stacy, but you’re only looking at one end of the spectrum. The other end would be virginity until marriage, something that’s harder to do when people are getting married at 25, 30, 35 years old instead of 15 or 18 or 20. Those that do manage to save themselves are worth of celebration (which of course our culture doesn’t do), but doing so isn’t the same proposition as it used to be. Both my wife and I had active and varied sex lives before we met and married in our early 30s, since then for well over a decade we’ve been monogamous and happy. I don’t even have any desire to couple with another woman other than her. Forgive me if I’m wrong or misremembering what you’ve written in the past, but doesn’t that describe you as well? My wife had a kid by another man before we married, I adopted him after and we’ve had another since. We’re a family and both of us have “forsaken all others”, wasn’t that the vow? There is a middle ground, and most people I know fall into it. The problem is that as a culture we’re celebrating the wrong extreme.

    I don’t absolve people of their individual responsibility at all. What I expose is the strategy of the Left. That drug addicts are responsible for sticking the needle in their arm doesn’t subtract from the complicity of the drug dealer who gave them some free stuff at the beginning with encouragement that it “feels so good!” to get them hooked.

    Gee, wasn’t that my point? But to address your comment, of the two choices, saving yourself seems to be, by it’s results superior as far as life outcomes. I know exactly 3 people who chose that route. They are all blissfully happy. I know dozens who chose the other path. Most of them are happy too, but a significant percentage are not.
