and when you look at where we were a few hundred years ago, you have to admit the progress has been astonishing.

Our progress happens, the patriarchs push back, and then we get angry again and push back and progress some more.

One of the things we need to push for this time is Netherlands type universal sex education. It's clear that being "educated" by religious materials and other ignorant teenaged males hasn't worked all that well for too many men.

Some clearly think they own the female body and that she is only the vessel and breeding machine for their desires,twisted Biblical interruptions and the control that seems to make them feel like a real man. A real man loves for a woman for what she is,what she stands for and accepts her decisions when it comes to her own body. He does not feel threatened by her choices.
