Women, Men And Competition :: essays research papers

Women, Men and Competition     Loudly and often, women insist they dont like competition, and thatcompetition is an act of pugnacity. Ironically, however, competition asaggression is inevitable in a society where men must compete for the attentionof women. Women encourage this. Every time they passively wait for men to subscribe tothe initiative, or reject nurturing men in deference to domineering men, theysustain the dynamic of dominance. Ignoring this, pop-feminists contendcompetition is the capitalization of aggression, and men do it to the detrimentof all.     Does this retrieve fighting for domination is the only way to compete? Thatcompetition is solely a product of masculine socialization and something we cando without? Masculine socialization has nothing to do with it. In one way oranother, all living things compete, because wanting creates competition. Youwant to live, so you offer goods or services to others in exchange for the g oodsand services you need to survive. The better the goods and services you offer,the more you can get in exchange, and the better you will be able to live.     To live well, you accept your "stuff" as good as possible relative to whatyour "competition" offers. That is the essence of competition in a free market.It respects the rights of others, and everybody wins because it works donevalidation rather than domination.     Competition as validation is the process by which the efficacy of ideas,knowledge, and products is validated by consumers. They choose what they valuemost. To the extent our economy encourages lovable through validation, it works.Most women, however, encourage competition through domination by ignoringcooperative, nurturing men to give their love and sex to domineering, "virile"men. Whats more, women compete, and they compete to win. This is especiallyunembellished in womens response to the inventi on of the rubber condom.     Prior to the 1870s, prostitution in Europe was prevalent. Victorianladies distaste for sex encouraged "an explosive increase in prostitution" thatcaused "an epidemic spread of venereal disease, and a morbid taste formasochism." Then, women began to compete sexually, and prostitution had to go.They began to compete with prostitutes for their husbands continuing attentions.     What changed? Men started using rubber condoms. This gave women the excerpt of enjoying sex without risking pregnancy, and that meant women nowviewed prostitutes as sexual competitors. Subsequently, they demanded lawsprohibiting prostitution, belying the myth that women dont compete. Women saythis is mens fault. That men have forced the necessity of sexual competitionupon women and that, left to themselves, women listen to a more cooperativeagenda. But the facts do not support this contention.
