537. The Golden Rule - A Modified Version For Men
The Golden Rule as quoted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Rule
The Golden Rule as quoted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Rule
"One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself"
"One should not treat others in ways that one would not like to be treated."
The second form of the golden rule does not prevent women from being objectified and commodified, the first form even encourages men to do so.
When men are driven so much by their instinctive urges for homeostasis, that it deactivates their cognition and blurs their reason, they perceive every female body as a potential target for their animal needs, at least subconsciously.
In this situation, jerks and psychopaths do not feel any need for justification, they ruthlessly act upon their entitlement delusion for promiscuity. They are determined to get homeostation by hook or by crook, their methods include seducing, paying, manipulating and coercing. Their abuse of women is out of the reach of any moderation by the influence of the golden rule.
But many of those men, who consciously attempt to be guided by the golden rule, fatally misinterpret it as an encouragement to project their own inclinations, wishes and needs upon women. Many men in the state of dishomeostasis dream, hope, wish or even wait to be proactively approached by self-objectifying women offering homeostation without demanding or expecting anything for themselves. As this is a denial of reality, these men take the initiative and approach women for the purpose of objectification. Subjectively they follow the golden rule: They are doing to the women only exactly what they wish done to themselves.
This misinterpretation of the golden rule impedes these men from being aware, that and how much they are insulting women with this depreciation, devaluation and indignation.
While men in the state of dishomeostasis are prone to be unaware of what they themselves are doing, this does not automatically distort their general judgment. The same men, who themselves do not hesitate to sleep around like alley dogs, may well feel outrage, when their mother/sister/daughter becomes the prey of his fellow alley dogs.
Therefore I suggest this golden rule for men:

Therefore I suggest this golden rule for men:
A man should treat women as he would like others to treat his mother/sister/daughter/wife/girl friend.
A man should not treat women in ways that he would not like his mother/sister/daughter/wife/girl friend to be treated.
