What you have to recognize about feminists is that the majority don't really want equality for men and women. They want all the benefits to being a man with none of the negative repercussions. Equality I can live with, this ridiculous push to give women all sorts of preferential treatment I can't. The issue here is simple: Women don't, simply don't understand what being a man is like And they never will. I don't agree that since a woman dresses in "provocative clothing" she is "asking for it" but women don't understand the effect flirting and dressing provocatively has on men. Example - this happened to me over the summer (well not to me but you'll get what I mean). I was on a camping trip - and this guy raped a girl (the girl was lesbian and not interested). However, both were very drunk. She spent the entire evening rubbing his head and flirting with him, and making sexual related jokes. And to cap it off, he didn't have a sleeping bag so suggested he share the sleeping bag with her. He tried to have sex with her, she resisted, etc etc. As much as it is up to men to control their urges, sexual urges in men are something not easily controlled. It's a driving force that is always constant in every man in a way it isn't in any woman. It takes an insane amount of self control to be able to deny yourself in a situation like that and to be honest, in todays society, with advertising telling you to "just do it", to take what you want just because you want it, it isn't surprising that many men end up with serious shortcomings in the self control section.
