Reply #20: As much as I hate to admit it...

...when I was very young, I was actually turned on by having men fight over me. It seems so stupid and neanderthal to me now, but at 20 or 21, it was a huge rush when the guy I was dating punched out a guy he thought was being too "friendly" with me on the dance floor. Now, of course, that whole "Dat be MY woman" ownership thing that it implies (not to mention the role it places the woman in as a damsel who can't handle her own affairs) is a complete turn-off. What can I say? At 20, I suppose I thought it was a demonstration of love and commitment on his part. Ugh. So glad I'm over that.
