"you win on the cougar thing

Yes you stalk and eat your prey. Yes a cougar is a dangerous animal. However so are some women (and men). Trying not to be sexist here. I just think you are too close to the subject to view it very objectively. "

perhaps i am. i don't know. maybe you are too used to swimming in the waters to see that sexism is endemic in our lives? i like to study trends and this particular trend is a very interesting one. it's always been around i suppose but it's rarely been so prevalent in the popular culture. add to the usual mix the feminist social influence of the last 30 years and it morphs all the past paradigms, brings something new to the table. dare i say a mellinial arch/an evolutionary thinking? if immortality is indeed around the corner as some scientists speculate, then age will cease to be a factor after a certain amount of time has passed. but if our society is mired in ageism then the journey will be harder, it might even cause civil war.

anyway, i don't really consider myself to be a cougar, even though society might. maybe a maggie may, but not a cougar. a cougar is always hungry, out for the kill. i just happened to be attractive to and be attracted to a younger man or two. or three or was it six? damn i lost count. smirk. there were three. i don't know, i'm really turned off by the atmosphere in literature and movies and culture that views everything in terms of what it brings to the male. tho i suppose we all have the center of the universe thing going on. cougar hunters , though, are riddled with it. their centers are as hungry as the cougar herself, a cycle of hunger, renewing and consuming.

but is there anything else about the cougar? does the exchange give her youth, sustenance, beauty, allure? or is it that she keeps alive in the hunter the spirit of the chase? is that all we care about? is that all that needs to be said? why is this woman a cardboard cutout? or more interestingly, why isn't the man? a cougar in societal terms is an aging slut, a pheobe price. in the eyes of much of society, an animal. show me one characterization of the male in a role reversal position that comes close to that. compare cougar to sugar daddy . as in i want a .. that's not deadly. at least, not physically.

in the movie american pie, the milf was indeed that. a mother. i'd . love. to . fuck. oh what must our daughters think ? yes indeed, i hope they appreciate the lessons we give their future husbands. and truthfully, the milfs don't mind passing that on. it socialises the male before he has children. ah maggie, where are you now? in the mountains with claws and fangs waiting for your juicy husband to be my dear. has the poison apple ever been more cleverly disguised?
