METAPHYSICAL DUALITIES (Posing as 'science')

According to contemporary meta-physicians masquerading as "researchers", one is led to conclude that by withholding their sexuality, women create a greater need for it and so control the monopoly of sexuality in the human sphere. This is the principle by which women can dominate more: viewed in this sense, this principle of sexual withholding represents the principle of matriarchy. No doubt, it only seems like it is the principle of patriarchy to feminists! After all, feminists note that until more recently, women had the whole issue of patriarchal morality and its peculiar reasoning to contend with. Consider, for instance, the issue of female purity versus impurity as patriarchal metaphysical constructs. In fact it was, until recently, (and is still the case in middle eastern countries), these highly artificial constructs that kept sexuality scarce for male and female alike.

It is not popular to consider how cultural mores affect human behaviour, however, so we are encouraged to consider the way things have changed entirely in terms of market forces. That way, we can still maintain the metaphysical category of "naturalness" -- which saves us from the realisation that just about all of human behaviour is artificial and contrived in some ways. That is why it is so interesting that two Texas researchers, as inheritors of the high priestly reasoning of the middle ages and before, can place their seats so as to obtain an accurate and efficient view of human affairs. From such a vantage point, they can start tut-tut-tutting about how there seems to be a metaphysical clash between an essentialised inner female nature as sexual monopoly holder and an effect of contemporary market forces which causes women to devalue and de-monopolise their goods.

For minds high on metaphysics, a situation of female sexual openness leads to the essentialised male principle becoming too empowered. If male and female really do represent different interests (a feature of their having different 'essences' to start with), this could lead to a dire metaphysical imbalance in the realm of gender.

The real issue at stake here is how many overly empowered males can dance on the head of a pin?

I would posit that at least 13 of them can!
