Starting with this:

Where did you come to believe relationships were noble and respectful?

Did I ever propose that belief?

Maybe you should take your straw-man elsewhere.

As far as your high school -- you should be damn well ashamed of how your boys, friends and classmates (as you insinuate) looked at females. YOU yourself said they were looked at as concubines. You didn't offer any shame for that point of view.

The fact that you are saying that this was just a few years ago makes everything you are saying even more pathetic.

I was in High School in the 80's -- and that shit was NOT condoned when it was discovered. You act like this is normal as opposed to something that should be shunned and changed. IF you can't grasp that, then you are the problem. I don't need you to tell me how things are. I don't need your lecture about "boys being boys"

Women are NOT perks, and they should never be assumed to be in reserve for the popular boys. Telling me, and DU -- that this is normal is just asking for the status quo to remain as such -- and that makes you STILL a part of the problem.

JUST HOW IT IS is NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
