16. It's a cycle that men have to break for themselves.

The notion of entitlement to a woman's body leads to feelings of rage and jealousy when a woman chooses to have intimate relations with different person. So ironically, men who claim women use sex as a 'weapon' are doing this to themselves; putting the gun in the woman's hand, pointing it at themselves and pulling the trigger.

If men would just let go of the deeply ingrained notion that we own womens' sexuality, there'd be a lot less trouble in this world.

I'm old enough to have learned this a long time ago, now I pass it on to my son and any of his buddies that will listen.

"...those men... attack our very womanhood, indeed our personhood." Very true, and very sad. nomorenomore08 Jun 2014 #22
