It's true, spendius, electricity was invented and is largely maintained by men. I quite prefer to simply use the electricity given to me by man. I need not understand it. But I do understand how sockets and plugs work. Isn't it nice that you so clearly understand man's place in life? Receptors would be hard up without good NTs to make them fire. Hopefulness is a pleasurable state.
I find that women are often in the degraded position of using what men provide. It's a burden but I'm willing to bear it. Check me out later, I'll be down by the river doin my female thing.
Grabbing pleasure and avoiding pain is the Pleasure Principle as defined by Freud. Letter perfect. It is the goal of us all, however impossible it is to maintain. Still it's a worthy purpose, I think. If we're alive, there will be pain, no way around it. I strive to maximize pleasure while I'm here. And I'm lucky enough to be living in an age and in a country where that's possible to some extent. Think of what it was like before antibiotics or electricity, for that matter.
