“How is it that you ‘can’t speak for men’ but could speak for “my friends”? Are you saying you don’t know any men?”
I’m saying that I don’t discuss these things with the men I know who are not my husband. That would be completely inappropriate.
“Additionally, even if you could accurately speak for your friends, it may be a stretch to project their experiences onto ‘most’ [religious] women. It may just be a flawed sample.”
I have a diverse group of friends, including many who are not religious and some who are not even Jewish.
“While women too were created with some animalistic tendencies, they are [thankfully] not nearly as overpowering as those that men have, giving women a far, far, easier time controlling inappropriate thoughts.”
I am not arguing this point. Reread my post. What I said is that women HAVE inappropriate thoughts just as men do. I said nothing about controlling those thoughts.
“Feminists and their friends, who campaign against things like abstinence education, and advocate for things like birth control to be more and more available, to younger and younger women, are likely desensitized, and are therefore a flawed sample.”
Thank you for making assumptions. I do not “campaign against” anything, and the vast majority of my friends do not identify as feminists.
