Angel: “The political is the personal. When somebody raises the ugly head of sex stereotypes, my logic and my reason are offended, but the rest of me is flinching back from the endless, historical and ongoing carnival of ugly, cruel things that that sort of thinking is intimately linked with in women’s experience.”
This I sympathize with. A couple of things most men might not be in on-
What percentage of women that you know have been offered the option of trading sexual favors for career advancement?
My conservative estimate: 20%
What percentage of women that you know have performed sexual favors for money, power, or other material gain?
My conservative estimate: 15%
What percentage of women that you know have been sexually violated?
My conservative estimate: 25%
Question- Would you personally ever consider dating a woman who had sold sexual favors?
The information that you, generally good, guys may not be privy to is just HOW BAD women really have it in this realm… They won’t necessarily tell you...
Also- What we’re dealing with:
Good friend of mine and I were crossing the street in a foreign country. He had previously characterized me as one of the, if not the smartest woman he had ever met. He plowed ahead in front of the traffic, I waited for the light to turn green. When I got to the other side, he shook his head and said ‘women and their decrease spatial abilities...’
I yelled at him, and he said he was just kidding… Was he? This is the name of the game. This is what we’re up against. This is why so many women feel they are at war...
