My priorities are not askew, I'm being practical. It would be easier to teach women to respect themselves and not participate in such sordid events than it would be to convince men that they ought not to crave such things. In fact, I blame feminism for promulgating the wide-spread acceptance of women doing sleazy things. There was a time that we had such a thing as "shame" and "stigma." Men have always had biological urges toward sex and violence. It's nature.

But there was a time that a woman who would indulge men's desires in exchange for money, well, there was a name for it and everyone knew that it took place outside of decent society, and men knew better than to confuse women and ladies. This is what protected ladies. Feminists tore down that divide, now they complain that all women are subject to men's darker side. Now they complain "We Are All Bunnies." Well, yeah, Gloria... but you made it that way. Men were willing to respect any woman who demanded respect. Most still are, I suspect.

I was just reading 'Handwriting of God' last night, a travel journal from 1860 by a preacher from ohio/wv area. He went to egypt and the holy land and wrote a rather large tome about it. He remarked on several occassions about how women were thought of and treated in the muslim society, with regards to not being able to pray at mosques, etc. He referenced the US and western civilized nations and how they saw women as something all together different. Without dragging out all the details it was an amazing read into how our culture was back then, and his respect for women was evident in much of his writing. But perhaps most eveident was his underlying thoughts that people earned respect for themselves by their actions, not by their gender (or race).

Money has become, to some, more important than respect for themselves - or at least, perhaps, we have come to define respect for ourselves soley by how much money we accumulate. Alas, this whole thing is no different perhaps than those who do stupid human tricks for money, the freakshow has left the circus tent, one only has to read the news to discover that (or DU) :)

I agree! I keep thinking of what my father would say if he were still alive. His respect for women served as a guideline for the entire family.

You're correct in saying that women (some, anyway) have brought this on themselves. But not all of us are involved in telling the world that we expect to be treated as unfeeling objects.

I'm not disagreeing with you, lady. I hope I'm adding to what you said.

We women are meant to work in tandem with men for our mutual good. Any man who shows such total disrespect for women is a blot on the name of real manhood.

"Men have always had biological urges toward sex and violence. It's nature."{

please stop with the nonsense....

Men have every God-given grace that women have....

Men afterall, are the dominant gender.....

I expect more of them then this but this is what passes for the new male identity nowadays....
