Labels

[EmmyE]

It's so unfair that if a man fucks women twenty years younger than he is, he still has "it". Whatever "it" is. But if a women fucks with someone half and sometimes much younger, she is labeled a cougar. A cougar? What the fuck. Damn that Dr. Phil.

I really don't consider myself a cougar, because my pussy is open to any age group, but I guess that all us sexually uninhibited, post menopausal women should just thank the men that find us a threat.

Don't get me wrong, I am far from a feminist, I just hate being labeled a cougar. I think, slut, or whore is so much more acceptable.

Calm down.

"Cougar" is actually a term coined by young men who flatter themselves. It's not really a reflection on or your morals.

The men who chase women from their children's graduating class are usually labeled "pathetic." No one is calling them "Mountain Lions".

 

[EmmyE]

I feel better now. Thanks.

IMHO, you just fuck whoever you want and enjoy every moment of it. You know who you are as a person and don't let people or society bother you with names. Just play safe and respectful and do whatever you feel like doing. Anyone who calls you something is just jealous that they're not doing it and wish they did.

I am far from a feminist.

Actually, I'm more disturbed by this. You're far from a feminist? So, you don't believe women should be paid equally for equal work? Don't believe they should be allowed to vote? Don't believe they should be given maternity leave to have their babies? They should not be protected from sexual harassment at the workplace or given the same civil liberties as men or allowed to wear trousers? All these are things that "Feminists" and those who've called themselves feminists have fought for.

Currently, in this world, every woman, and every man, who hates seeing little girls sold into arranged marriages or prostitution before they've even left elementary school, who hates to see women forced to wear burkas whether they wish to or not, who supports women having the right to drive and work and feed their families if need be, and who argues that women not be blamed or ostracized or murdered for being raped is a feminist.

The derogatory implications of "cougar" as applied to women pale compared to the fact that you seem to think that "feminist" is a bad word and you would rather not apply that label to yourself. Why do you think that? Do you imagine that all a feminist is, is a woman who burns her bra and yells at men who open doors for her?

3113, please put the pin back in the hand grenade and slip it back in your pocket. That's what she said but I don't think she meant it quite as literally as you took it.

 

[oggbashan]

Silly me.

I thought "cougar" was a label that women applied to themselves and was complimentary.

Have I got it wrong? Googling "cougar" seems to suggest that I haven't.

*sigh* Okay, Tx, but only for you

Apologies for the tirade, Emmy.

See? This is what the AH has become today. One false word, one controversial idea, and you're jumped on. She used the word "feminist" when she should have said "radical feminist", I suppose, and she's accused of advocating clitectomies.

What's wrong with you people?

More than the trolls, it's the insidious snarkiness that makes this such an unpleasant place.

I actually thought Cougar was a self coined phrase. IMO, dating anybody who wasn't even conceived when I went through puberty is just too weird for me.
So, who came up with "Sugar Daddy"?

There is no label, however pejorative, that someone will not pick up and wear with pride.

A cougar is a predator that hunts by stealth and ambush. The metaphor can be stretched in many directions.

You've got some misinterpretations about societal attitudes, I think. I have some social girl friends half my age, and you'd be appalled by the looks I get from women sometimes. I'd rather be labeled a Cougar than a Perv, y'know? In my experience, women are far more judgmental about such things than men are. Men make stupid comments, but they generally don't judge me.

I'll stick to being a dirty old man with a fifteen year rule. I try not to date anyone fifteen year younger than me. The sex might be mind blowing but there is absolutely nothing to talk about afterward.

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

Cougar? Isnt that an old piece of shit that was hot 30-40 years ago?

I'm with you on that Tx. There are plenty of DDG girls out there that could make any guy hard in a second just looking at them, but there's more to it than that and you know what I mean.

 

[TheeGoatPig]

I am a creepy old man.

And immature to boot. I could hold up what I consider to be an interesting conversation with a girl half my age if I had to.

But youre a dirty old man cuz you crawl along the gutters with your cheek pressed against the curb and an arm on the sidewalk.

 

[voluptuary_manque]

HM thinks "cougar" is demeaning. I have no opinion other than being firmly convinced that the TV show is stupid. But then, I'm given to believing most TV is stupid.

Most Cougars I know and have know are very independent women who know what the like and how they like it in the sex department. They also have enough confidence to go out and get it.

I haven't seen the show you mentioned but I can imagine it takes one end of the scale or the other. Most likely the funny and worst end.

 

[voluptuary_manque]

The teasers don't seem to give the women any dignity at all.

Most cougars have more dignity that any three youngsters combined. They just know what they want and go get it. In the end it's all about them and their wants. The rest is just windown dressing after all.

I can't help myself, this is just too great an opportunity to say that I wrote a Puma (Cougar) into my story and.. well here

http://www.literotica.com/stories/showstory.php?id=392841

I have another Puma appearing soon...??

I didn't think Cougar is demeaning either, I want to meet a few to see for myself but I think it is a cute term.

 

[voluptuary_manque]

At my age, any woman considered a cougar by society at large probably qualifies as a kid by my standards.

 

[arielsgoddess]

That would be a 'cub', dear--

Lol--that reminds me of a real cougar cub somebody left at my work one day. It was in a duffel bag, asleep. I went to cuddle the poor dear--about the size of a softball. It woke up and turned into furry fury--narrowly missed taking off my face.--LOL--I never underestimated a baby wild animal again. To think of an adult cougar, well, you would not believe just how fast and utterly silent they are as they rush-up like a blur of smoke and kill something, unless you were there to see it. I lost more than 10 animals in one night to a mother cougar, to feed her young. The connotation of a female predator like that is NOT flattering in a positive sense. Any more than calling a man a vampire or worse things than a cradle robber. If you're into predators=sexy&cool, it's a compliment, but otherwise, no.

I did not write this; it should not be assumed by anyone that I endorse or support any statement or idea that appears in it.

After donning a full suit of body armor, it is my intent to depart the scene as fast as my legs will carry me.

‘Nightmare’ Looms in U.K. Employment Policy, Hambro Executive Says
By Thomas Penny

Oct. 14 -- Equality legislation is making it more difficult for women to get a foothold in the U.K.’s financial sector, a fund manager at JO Hambro Capital Ltd. told members of Parliament in London today.

Nichola Pease, deputy chairman and former chief executive of the division of Credit Suisse Group AG, said companies are scared away from hiring women because penalties for successful sex discrimination claims are unlimited and the U.K. offers 52 weeks of maternity leave compared with 12 weeks in the U.S.

“A year maternity leave is too long, and sex discrimination claims that run into 10s of millions of pounds are ridiculous,” Pease told the Treasury Committee, a cross- party panel of lawmakers overseeing economic policy.

The committee is investigating why women in the financial services industry earn less than men and gain fewer executive- level jobs. A report in April for the Equality and Human Rights Commission said the pay gap between men and women working in fund management, stock broking and futures trading is as high as 60 percent, with a 79 percent difference in bonuses.

“What I worry about is that legislation and protection turns this into a nightmare,” Pease said. “We’ve got to be realistic and make sure the protection, which has very good motivation, doesn’t end up backfiring both at a female level and at a U.K. competitiveness level.”

Often discrepancies in pay are a result of choices made by women, she said.

‘Commercial Realities’
“While we’d like to give everyone flexible working, certain jobs require full time, they require a lot of travel, unsocial conference calls to deal with, and those are the commercial realities. We need to live as a country with those commercial realities,” Pease said.

The committee also heard from Charles Goodhart, a former Bank of England policy maker and an emeritus professor of finance at the London School of Economics, who said the financial crisis may have been averted if more women served on bank boards.

“There would have been less likelihood of the kind of financial crisis we’ve just had if there had been a larger number of women CEOs in the financial sector,” Goodhart said. “I think less of the alpha male would be very beneficial.”
