Kerouac, The Dharma Bums
p. #27
"But we'd made him miss his evening of study and I felt bad about that, till the following night when he suddenly appeared at our little cottage with a pretty girl and came in and told her to take her clothes off, which she did at one."
This quote really sums up life in this time period. Drinking and sex are being taken as priorities over work. Also, it shows womens compliance to mens demands. They are shown as though their wants and feelings are unimportant.
Kerouac, The Dharma Bums
p. #27
" 'Shore, come on with us and we'll all screw ya at ten thousand feet.' "
A continuation of what is shon in the previous quote. Japhy continues his inconsiderate nature towards women. He sees them as sex toys and not fellow human beings. Still the woman complies.

okay, now you are just being an asshole.this was the 1950's not 60's. sex drugs and booze were not the normal thing to do.Go back to the book and you will see that the woman(princess) is not being used or subjected to male dominance rather, she herself is a willing particpant in yabyum(orgies).
