    I don't get the handwringing

    with a few exceptions, the VAST majority of relationships between men and women ARE based on some level on money.

    men have something women can get by themselves, by working, or through men.

    but WOMEN have something men cannot get by themselves, but only through women.

    what is that 'thing' women have and men cannot have EXCEPT thru women?

    acceptance by the female sex, companionship with a woman, sex and love.

    if a man is to be hetero, he must have a woman to achieve these things in his life.

    fortunately SOME men have the one thing that helps ease women into pretending they like us men, and that is chattel.

    so live it up girls! You have ALL the opporunities in the world to make it yourselves, and somehow, this is STILL preferable and the way things are conducted between the sexes. Must be AWESOME to be a beautiful young woman. MOST men know of what I speak.
