14. We should MAKE men responsible for their own behavior.

Legally. Socially. Financially. Our government needs to change. Women must be more fairly represented there. Laws need to change. Social attitudes need to change. Otherwise, women will remain relegated to reproductive slavery and denied any self-determination whatsoever.

Men are the only ones who control men's behavior. Women do not. I don't care what women wear or do not wear. Men use this pretentious excuse (ie: what women wear) to pawn responsibility for their own behavior off on women.

NOT. BUYING. IT. Women shouldn't buy it either.

This is why I wrote my recent blog entry: http://www.sevenbowie.com/2012/12/american-taliban-women-have-no-right-to-their-own-bodies-but-theyre-responsible-for-his/
