re: #90 Dopamine Fish

I’m so sick of the religious fundamentalist narrative that Christianity and Islam have built together that women are responsible for controlling men’s lustful desires. Returning specifically to Christianity, the Bible is pretty clear that “if your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away.” In other words, men, if you’re having problems with ogling the ladies, that’s YOUR DAMN PROBLEM and you need to FIX IT YOURSELF, not complain about how the women are dressing.

I threw that scripture at a guy a while back in a similar conversation and he immediately went in on: “Well, actually that’s not intended to be taken literally. Here’s what Jesus actually meant when he said that…”

I let him ramble for a few minutes and then walked away.
