Boys are too hot

My quarrel with the essentialists is not that they think biology is powerful. Biology is powerful. My quarrel with the essentialists is that they ask us to acquiesce to this power. God gave us minds so we could overcome our biology. Even the Eden myth tells us that. Biology tasks women with making babies. Their burden is to overcome that, and, in a sense, become men, that is, creatures capable of acting beyond the imperatives of mothering. But biology also tasks men with making babies. It does this by giving them a demanding penis, one that constantly seeks release. Just as women must "become men" by overcoming the biological imperative to mother, men must "become women" by overcoming the biological imperative to sperm upon anything that moves. This is why God made us rational creatures, so we could transcend our biology. Because boys are hot, we want to give them our sperm. The imperatives of biology demand that we do this. Reason tells us sex should depend on consent. But biology tells us the opposite. This has been a problem forever. Men have always had to resist the impulse to rape. Women and boys have always been at risk because of this impulse. God gave us reason for a reason. Biology ensures the propagation of the species. But it does not care how much abuse of the unwilling takes place in the process. Only our God-given reason allows us to temper our biological imperatives with respect for the right of women and boys to refuse our sperm. Biology does not give men, as men, the capacity for this respect. It can only come from our intellectual ability to sympathize, to become, at least in part, female. As long as we let ourselves be ruled by our biology, rape will continue. hugzu ;-p
