86. Now wait a minute...
I wouldnt go that far at all. I am not talking about women having to be suspicious of all men. What I am talking about is some women BLAMING all men. There is a difference. In this world it is only sane that a woman should look at all men as a potential abuser, but blaming all men for those that are is unfair.

Those of us who would never consider doing such things do not deserve to be lumped in with those to whom a penis means power. We are womens natural ally against such men and we, I assume, are what women WANT men to be like - respectful of their feelings AND their bodies, and know where the limits are WITHOUT having to be told.

It is our responsibilty to educate those men who do not respect these boundaries, and to make it no longer acceptable for women to be viewed as nothing more than objects. All I ask is not to be considered guilty of the acts of such men simply because I have no control over them.
