The feminists supposedly stand for equality between the sexes. But instead of holding men to a higher standard of morality, feminists claim that women can act like pigs, just as men do. For decades, feminists have promoted female sexual empowerment and promiscuity instead of male restraint.

 Radical feminists in the 1960s and 1970s preferred to degrade women rather than upgrade men. To that end, they ignored the vehicle of marriage, which is specifically designed to force men into a higher morality. Marriage instead was derided as "the chief vehicle for the perpetuation of the oppression of women," in the words of Marlene Dixon of the University of Chicago. Women who got married could not expect support from the feminists if their husbands acted immorally.

 By now, feminists have imprinted their image of marriage on the American mind. Marriage now means little beyond a prolonged living arrangement. Married women and single women are now full equals in moral terms. If a single woman cannot hold her boyfriend to monogamy, a married woman cannot, either. If the single woman can only complain about rape or harassment, the married woman can't complain about adultery.

 So when Kobe Bryant's wife is cheated upon, and then again when she is allegedly harassed and her cheating husband decides to protect the little woman, the feminists have no sympathy, since matrimony means nothing to them. But when Kobe's Colorado vamp rape accuser complains that she didn't consent to Kobe's advances, the feminists rush forward to protect her.

 Kobe Bryant should be the poster boy for the women's movement. He's the kind of guy they promote. He isn't bound by the conventions of that "sham" institution called marriage, and he only has consensual sex. Too bad he isn't a real man -- real men don't treat women like garbage.
