Should not the man at least try and make a society that is valuable and inviting to a woman? I'd think it would be hard to remain feminine in a world where you had to grow such a tough skin to sheild yourselve from the lewd and crude.

You are absolutely correct, but your ideas won't get much mileage here on FR. Not too many men here realize that a culture saturated in female sexual imagery is not likely to produce the kind of women they want for wives. And it is completely illogical to expect that you can sleep with as many women as you want, and then be able to find a faithful, dedicated wife. (Where are all those women going to come from, anyway?)

I tried to point this out on a thread a few days ago, and was hammered for my "anti-man" comments.

Good point. So, let's kick X-rated theatres and bookstores out of every city in America, and celebrate decent women who want to love and cherish decent men.

She's right; it is very difficult to remain feminine when that femininity is assaulted from all sides.
