jds I get it.. are you in US? Its sad to think advanced countries still face that kind of thing. I am in Mexico so you can imagine the Macho culture. Although I see a shift in young women's thinking...
An eye opener for me has been sharing home with a family. The mom and older sister are VERY smart, prepared, intelligent, well traveled, etc. The younger brother is a mess and they allow him to do whatever he pleases.
Parties? ok. Midweek? ok.
The guy brings a different woman every night. Everyone knows. Its accepted. HAH! WHEN would I have brought someone home to sleep with me??
They also have a maid that cooks for him everyday. He leaves the kitchen very very dirty and doesn't give a damn about the others that need to cook there also.
I see where the double standards come....... oh, he also "studies", both mom and sister give him money so he can go out almost every day, drink, go to the beach...
Sad, given these are supposedly healthier women, can't imagine how it is like for other households.
No wonder some grow up feeling entitled.
Sorry for hijacking the thread!!
