The phrase ‘women let men have sex with them’ bothers me. It frames sex as something women permit men to do, rather than a mutual choice both partners actively make.
In a relationship sex is (or should be) a mutual expression of attraction, love, desire, acceptance, understanding.
The idea that women “let” men have sex with them is problematic because it frames intimacy as something one person grants another, like a favour, rather than a shared experience. In healthy relationships, sex isn’t about permission or transactions—it’s about mutual desire and connection.
The word “let” also subtly reinforces old stereotypes, where men are seen as chasing sex and women as controlling access to it. Relationships work when both partners feel equally free to express what they want, say no without pressure, and see intimacy as something they create together. Consent is an ongoing dialogue where both people check in, respect boundaries, and prioritise each other’s comfort.
Ultimately, sex shouldn’t feel like a performance or a prize. It’s about vulnerability, trust, and collaboration. Good relationships thrive when both people feel heard, valued, and free to be themselves without rigid roles.
I'm of course not suggesting that there are any indications that Melania and Donald have anything approximating what could be called a good relationship.
In April 2023, a criminal ring distributed milk spiked with methamphetamine to students in Seoul’s Gangnam District, branding the drink as a “concentration enhancer.”
According to police at the time, 18 out of 100 bottles, each containing 0.1 grams of methamphetamine, were distributed. Eight students and one parent ingested eight bottles in total.
The criminal ring later blackmailed and attempted to extort six parents, threatening to report the students to police for drug use.
The drug runner was apprehended by local police at a hideout in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, on April 16, 2024, after the NIS provided intelligence to Cambodian authorities.
Although the NIS sought to extradite the suspect to Korea, Cambodian authorities tried him under local law due to his possession of methamphetamine and drug manufacturing tools.
“We consider close information exchange with Cambodian police to be a key factor in the successful crackdown on this drug crime organization,” the NIS said. “We plan to continue strengthening cooperation with foreign authorities to actively identify and block international criminal organizations.”
Smells like boomer humour in here. What's more, I don't like the way it smells.
