Disloyalty to the Void
Here is an article, brought to my attention by Nate Winchester, entitled ‘The Sex Risks for Women that No One Likes to Talk About.’
The article, in brief, tells of a letter to the advice column of the Boston Globe, where a young lover, whom we shall call only “Conflicted” in typical modern fashion, is considering cohabitating with a female.
He describes the relationship “normal, healthy, and mutually respectful” that made them both “happy.”
He never once uses the word LOVE to describe the woman he says he could have easily seen himself marrying. However, he discovers that his lover had 35 or so paramours during her college days.
He has, needless to say, the typical reaction of a sane male, which is revulsion. However, typical of the modern mind, he has no words, and no moral vocabulary whereby to express his outrage at the betrayal. Like the subjects of Big Brother in Airstrip One, he cannot express in Newspeak the thought involved.
Instead of outrage, he is alarmed at his own reaction. He is weirded out, and regards her as ‘damage goods’ (a ghastly phrase). He’d like to go back to the way things were, and to feel for her the (unnamed) emotion once he felt. So he turns for advice to the Boston Globe.
The Globe, in its globular wisdom, writes the following. I dare not summarize this, for fear that some nuance of the moral insanity might be lost:
