"Maintenance" Sex

If you have a car, yes, you have maintenance done on it, at least fairly regularly (and this reminds me that I desperately need to get my car's oil changed and lubed--I am embarrassed to admit how long it has been since these necessary things have been done).  What gets me is now this "maintenance" is supposed to apply to heterosexual relationships, specifically marriage.  The big thing, which deserves every bit of ridicule and condemnation possible, is this notion of "maintenance sex."  What the hell is that?  This bullshit of saying (mostly) women should go through with it with their husbands even if they don't want to is telling women it is okay for husbands to rape them as the women aren't fully consenting.  This nonsense providing sex to a dude as a woman's duty needs to die a quick death. 

There is this notion, which our society finds it hard to get rid of, that claims men "need" sex and they have a "right" to it.  No, they don't.   Men aren't going to die if they don't have it.   They aren't entitled to anything from women (and women aren't entitled to anything from men).  It doesn't matter if the guy is married or not.  Men aren't entitled to anything from women.  A woman is not a thing for a man to put his dick in and pop babies out.  This rendering women as subhuman simply dies hard in our society, and it needs to stop.

In many ways our society hasn't grown up one damned bit since the 1950s. 

A husband raping you--and, horrifying as it is, more than a few of these dudes rape their wives while the wives are asleep--is not a way of "strengthening" any marriage.

To me this is distinctly sick.
