Once upon a time one of a woman's greatest qualities was her modesty, and she prided herself on this. The 60's donned an era where rebelion meant ceasing educating ones self, listening to music their parents did not understand, exploring the world through the use of mind expanding drugs; and physically allowing ones self to enjoy what pleasures we were designed to without restriction.
Ofcourse nowdays these things are frowned upon, as they were then but now in a new light. Youth today still indulge themselves in the same activities but it is now less of a subculture and more the norm. It is not unusual to have promiscuous sex with a partner you met days, even minutes ago. Infact for the male species the more the better. So how is it that girls are so aggressivley labelled as "sluts" and "filth" because they may have decided they dont care for any other reason but physical attraction as a motive for sex. At the time the boy doesnt mind in the slightest. Why? Because it's an easy root, another knotch on the belt and simply just another tale to tell the guys. To this day I have not met a boy who would easily decline the oppurtunity to satisfy their primary earges; and with no charges laid against them for doing so, who would?
The outcome for girls acting upon their desires is entirely different. So much as though we even turn on our kind at times, labelling them as inferior people.
What is it even still that gives the male species the right to degrade females, use them for sport, for status, for emotional manipulation? What is it psychologically that we just cannot shake that allows us to accept and submit immediate status to men. I am in no way a feminist, infact I can easily admit that males are the dominent species. I only find it a fascinating and at times frustrating truth. Fascinating as it is so easily accepted; frustrating as it is so obviously unjust.
