It Takes Two to Tango

It seems that most conservatives, especially the ones who are extremely socially conservative and/or religious, have forgotten that promiscuity, in and of itself, requires at least two actors. Like the capitalism they fall over themselves to promote blindly. Time and time again, we see people like Bryan Fischer and Peter LaBarbera blaming only one side of the promiscuous equation: the women. Not once have I heard them attack promiscuous men, unless those men are gay. Nonsensical links to studies showing that make homosexual behavior is higher-risk than heterosexual behavior are just one of their tools. It once again demonstrates a clearly biblical bias in their thinking: the bible is well-known for espousing a general distaste for lady parts, an almost pathological need to control every aspect of a woman's life. Yet, the bible also clearly states that fornication is a sin, regardless of the participants' gender. In the other hand, it is the husband who is punished much more lightly in cases of adultery than the woman. If a wif strays, she is stoned to death; if a husband strays, it is actually possible to blame the woman. And the man with whom she strays isn't punished, or if he is, he is punished lightly (certainly more lightly than automatic social homicide). A little balance - that would be nice. But my expectations of balance are obviously way too high.
