Aurorawatcher, Demosthenes

You're both right, in a way. I dont believe the hype about women being the "virtuous sex"; we're both flawed in different ways. However, women so seem to be much less flawed sexually. Monogamy, pornography, sexual abuse, even chastity are much less of a problem for women.

(Tangent: take it or leave it, but there seems to actually be a biological, not psychological reason for this: men expel certain toxins through their sexual system, women expel the same through their menstrual system. An unhealthy man literally needs to release those toxins, and his mind will tempt and twist him until he does. Sane sexuality is near-impossible for a man unless he is physically and spiritually healthy...moving on)

In a marriage, who really knows, but the stats I've seen tell that men are almost twice as likely as women to cheat. In fact, a slight majority of husbands cheat.

Now let's put a few things in perspective. In modern times, a majority of girls are raised in homes that are broken and/or fatherless. A third of women will be sexually abused before their 18th birthday. The vast majority of women will have had sex out of wedlock. In wedlock, a majority of wives are cheated on. Yet, Demosthenes, your "troubling" stat is that 90-99% of children born in marriage are legitimate. Think about it; it's not exactly proof of the innate wickedness of women.

If men are the leaders of a society, and they are, women follow their examples, not their orders. No one's advocating servanthood. By the time a modern woman's a wife, most will have had a failed father and a string of failed boyfriends behind her eyes, and more often than not, a failed husband.

I blame men.
