When I was a virgin I thought the "all women are whores"-type of thinking was a meme but after being in a stable relationship I have seen first hand how women experience sex, it's on a completely different level, they quite literally can't be satisfied; not in the "ur dick is just small lol" way, rather they're wired in such a way that they can't help but crave sex endlessly.
Even when having sex a man can keep a certain level of detachment from the act.
The contemplative life is out of the reach of women, it doesn't mean they're bad, but they're certainly not the same as men.

if only you knew how deep the rabbit hole really goes

>Derrida argues that language cannot have an outside; he also asserts that nothing is outside language, that is, the text. As a result, language is left in some sense bereft. Language, because it is linguistic, cannot have an outside yet, in a sense, language is but the movement towards an outside.

>Language is the ‘embodiment’ of the desire for an outside. This is true because language desires to say something, for language hopes that its significations actually bear significance. The outside is maybe the secret name for this desire. Language, in that it endeavours to communicate or to say something, wishes there to be something in what is said. In desiring thus, language desires that which is not reducible to itself. Language is in this way the desire for something other than language.

>But this other isforbidden by Derrida. Furthermore, it is declared to be impossible. It is impossible because language is language. Language as language is, then, its own limitation. Language would need to be other than language if it were to have an outside. But language is always itself, language is always language. Consequently, all signification is inside. Only nothing is outside language. As there is no outside available, language must generate one. Indeed, for Derrida language is the movement of this generation.
