Don, I will just have to disagree with you. Being female, I was subjected to a lot of brainwashing from birth onward that could easily lead straight to that sort of situation. Many of the women I know who would have you believe that they are impervious to these kinds of slings and arrows and are full of bravado about how free they are, are the most damaged of all. Participating in videos that mimic rape, punishment, bodily harm and even one's death? One needed be a shrink to see the connection between the two. -- acting out what one secretly believes one deserves.

Boys are also brainwashed, but in this particular example it doesn't have the same ramifications.

As I said, there are always exceptions. But just because Frontline found some women to talk about how they like it doesn't mean a) they aren't be exploited and b) doesn't speak for the thousands of women who were too ashamed or too afraid to be interviewed on national television.
