For a change, this post should not be read as a complaint or anything like it. Here’s what prompted it:
In a candid interview, former culture secretary Nadine Dorries has revealed that she used to go on dates to get free meals because she was paid so little as a trainee nurse. Mrs Dorries left school at 16 and began training as a nurse at 18, but was shocked at the pittance she was paid.
‘It was not eating money,’ she said, revealing how she and friends would accept dates to get a free meal.
…and I’m not at all shocked by the revelation that women use sex (or even the vague promise thereof) to get money or whatever from men.
‘Twas ever thus, and we men have always acknowledged it without any kind of bitterness or rancor. Women have always had the upper hand in this regard, and it’s just the way of the world.
Indeed, I’m quite jealous of the fact that women can set up an OnlyFans account and, regardless of appearance*, sell online videos of themselves having a little sex fun, whether solo action or with a partner. (*No matter what they look like or how old they are, there will always be men who have a fantasy about that particular look, and are willing to pay for the privilege of seeing their fantasies brought to life, so to speak.)
Ditto all the InstaGram and TikTok “influencers”, of whom the biggest earners seem to consist mostly of hot younger women.
Is all this “unfair” to men? Yeah… whatever. I mean, no woman (and certainly no man) is going to pay a monthly sum to watch me clean a gun or sample different gins (probably the only two activities I’m capable of doing with any competence at this time of my life). I wish that were not true, but there it is.
Anyway, here’s a pic of Nadine Dorries, taken some time ago:
…shown for educational purposes to my Murkin Readers, who probably have no clue who she is.
