Women, Men, Sex, Marriage and Society

Jul 20, 2008 6:21 pm Report Abuse

Men are more sentimental than women. It blurs their thinking.

Delusions are often functional. A mother’s opinions about her children’s beauty, intelligence, goodness, et cetera ad nauseam, keep her from drowning them at birth.

A “pacifist male” is a contradiction in terms. Most self-described “pacifists” are not pacific; they simply assume false colors. When the wind changes, they hoist the Jolly Roger.

Nursing does not diminish the beauty of a woman’s breasts; it enhances their charm by making them look lived in and happy.

What a wonderful world it is that has girls in!

It is better to copulate than never.

All societies are based on rules to protect pregnant women and young children. All else is surplus age, excrescence, adornment, luxury or folly which can--and must--be dumped in emergency to preserve this prime function. As racial survival is the only universal morality, no other basic is possible. Attempts to formulate a “perfect society” on any foundation other than “women and children first!” is not only witless, it is automatically genocidal. Nevertheless, starry-eyed idealists (all of them male) have tried endlessly--and no doubt will keep on trying.

There is only one way to console a widow. But remember the risk.

Sex should be friendly. Otherwise stick to mechanical toys; it’s more sanitary.

Little girls, like butterflies, need no excuse.

A woman is not property, and husbands who think otherwise are living in a dreamworld.

A zygote is a gamete’s way of producing more gamete’s. This may be the purpose of the universe.

The more you love, the more you can love--and the more intensely you love. Nor is there any limit on how many you can love. If a person had Time Enough, he could Love all of the majority who are decent and just.

Masturbation is cheap, clean, convenient, and free of any possibility of wrong-doing--and you don’t have to go home in the cold. But it’s lonely.

The second most preposterous notion [that Homo Sapiens has ever dreamed up] is that copulation is inherently sinful.

Dear, don’t bore him with trivia or burden him with your past mistakes. The happiest way to deal with a man is never to tell him anything he does not need to know.

Darling, a true lady takes off her dignity with her clothes and does her whorish best. At other times you can be as modest and dignified as your persona requires.

Everybody lies about sex.

If the universe has any purpose more important than topping the woman you love and making a baby with her hearty help, I’ve never heard of it.

A competent and self confident person is incapable of jealousy in anything. Jealousy is invariably a symptom of neurotic insecurity.

Money is the sincerest of all flattery. Women love to be flattered. So do men.

Whenever women have insisted on absolute equality with men, they have invariably wound up on the dirty end of the stick. What they are and what they can do makes them superior to men, and their proper tactic is to demand special privileges, all the traffic will bear. They should never settle merely for equality. For women, “equality” is a disaster.

Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy.

Rub her feet.

Never crowd youngsters about their private affairs--sex especially. When they are growing up they are nerve ends all over, and resent (quite properly) any invasions of their privacy. Oh sure, they’ll make mistakes--but that’s their business, not yours. (You made your own mistakes, did you not?)

Always tell her she is beautiful, especially if she is not.

Sovereign ingredient for a happy marriage: Pay cash or do without. Interest charges not only eat up a household budget; awareness of debt eats up domestic felicity.

Another ingredient for a happy marriage: Budget the luxuries first!

And still another-- See to it that she has her own desk--then keep your hands off it!

And another--In a family argument, if it turns out you are right--apologize at once!

Touch is the most fundamental sense. A baby experiences it, all over, before he is born and long before he learns to use sight, hearing, or taste, and no human ever ceases to need it. Keep your children short on pocket money--but long on hugs.

Have you noticed how much they look like orchids? Lovely!

A man does not insist on physical beauty in a woman who builds up his morale. After a while he realizes that she is beautiful--he just hadn’t noticed it at first.

All’s fair in love and war”--what a contemptible lie!

It is impossible for a man to love his wife wholeheartedly without loving all women somewhat. I suppose that the converse must be true of women.

Formal courtesy between husband and wife is even more important than it is between strangers.

I came, I saw, she conquered.” (The original Latin seems to have been garbled.)



From the "Notebooks of Lazarus Long" in Robert Heinlein's 1973 novel, Time Enough for Love (pp. 240-251 and pp. 346-353).

Enjoyed these...thanks. Especially---"A competent and self confident person is incapable of jealousy in anything. Jealousy is invariably a symptom of neurotic insecurity." Oh, and this one too--"Rub her feet."
