15. Because Western women are taught to possess the men they are with.

Wholly, 100%.

I remarked in another recent thread, that I have found frequently that straight men seem to find it impossible to be friendly with gay men if their female sex partners aren't involved in some way - as if she must implicitly approve, or else the relationship (between the two men) is forbidden.

And I think that also speaks to the principle that Western women are taught that when you get involved with a man in any romantic way, you own them body and soul 100%, and that he must spend 100% of his time with you.

It's sick and cloying and claustrophobic in my opinion, but as I say, I'm glad I'm gay - I never have to deal with that nonsense.
