At some point in time we’re going to have to address the whole concept of masculinity and femininity in this dumbass culture we’ve created for ourselves.

The Sexual Revolution did not start in the 60’s, nor did it end there. The 60’s were just a big watershed decade for public opinions on morality and what comprises acceptable roles for men and women.

But we are still not fully rid of the notion that virtuous women are either monogamous or sexless, or that any woman who expresses her sexuality in any manner is a wanton slut, and such women deserve no respect and have no recourse against whatever happens to them at the hands of men.

Nor are we completely rid of the notion that men are allowed or even expected to force their sexual drive on women, regardless of whether they are willing or receptive to it.

I hope that this decade goes down as another major watershed in attitudes towards women, men, and the nature of consent and what sort of behavior is acceptable in society and the workplace.
