Politcal expediency often makes strange bedfellows- being male or female has very little to do with that.

I don't know whether a discussion of this type is verboten on this thread, but if it is I am sure Poet will say so.

Freedom, for adults, even young ones like Chandra, means they can make bad decisions. Like choosing to become the sex toy of a married man. Young women make decisions like that all the time in all walks of life. Our leering tit and ass obsessed culture provides reinforcement for men who wish to objectify and use women for sexual gratification in non- reciprocal "relationships." I hesitate to call them relationships because they don't really equal relationships to me. But technically they are. I hate that older powerful men pray upon young girls. I hate it when men in fortune 500 corporations do it, and I hate it when politicians do it. We have tried to prevent this with rules in the workplace- but the only really good way to prevent it is to raise men not to see women as objects and disposable vaginas, and to raise women not to imagine men are better (and more emotionally involved and more caring) than they are.
