Blackicon Question Men/Women Cheating, Society or Nature?

"Long ago, Ptahhotep warned us that 'If you are one who fails through
the lust of women, then no affair of yours can prosper.' If sex is
your predominant preoccupation, failure is bound to occur, over and
over again in your life. But, know this, the extreme preoccupation
with sexual conquest promoted and normalized as natural by Western
culture's sex imperative is the primary cause of this lack of
maturity. It is not a naturally occurring phenomenon among all
people. Cheating is not a natural inclination among men or women for
the world's majority. It is not 'in our blood' as many confused
rationalizers believe. We are neither 'dogs' nor 'bitches.' We are
not animals in constant heat. These are socialized conditions.
Therefore, we are only becoming so because we have become 'culturally
misoriented' away from Afrikan tradition and toward the European way
and, as a result, are modeling our sexual appetite after the world's
morally uncivilized minority. Predatory sexual behavior, a mentality
which marriage cannot pacify or suppress and, in Western society, was
never designed to, is part and parcel of the European sex
imperative. It is a mentality which has no place in the Afrikan
tradition. However, it has found its way into the Afrikan mind
because we are constantly and systematically bombarded by imagery and
definitions promoting a European reality. We become like those who
are unable to distinguish right from wrong or, rather, we are
learning wrong along with how to make wrong appear right. Reducing
us to a state of wrong thinking so that we can be controlled within
their cultural framework is the goal. Our confusion can lead us to
no longer see Europeans as abnormal because it causes us to think and
act distorted, like them. Because we are the majority, once we
become abnormal, they become normal."

"Cowardice asks the question: is it safe? Expediency asks the question: is it political? Vanity asks the question: is it popular? But conscience asks the question: is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor political, nor popular - but one must take it simply because it is right."
