Or the boot could come from the brother, who traditionally played a role, sometimes unappreciated by the sister, in protecting her reputation. We have to find our ways back to some of this or we are just going to sink further into the cesspool we are in, and especially the young people are in. And there are national security implications to this..people say, why do they hate us...well, they say so again and again. We are degenerate. We are foul-mouthed. Do they want their girls called "hos" etc? I don't think so. This stuff has a way of spreading. I wonder what the sexual harassment laws have to say about it. Again, I get back to the public bus situations. Ride them if you don't usually. I think hearing that amounts to sexual harassment of every girl and every woman, and hurts the men as well, both those who speak that way (and I am not saying women don't) and those who would never in a million years speak that way but are forced to listen to it. On a public bus, young children are exposed to that sort of language, and worse, every day. How can parents protect them? How does that affect immigrants from very traditional cultures? You are trapped on a bus. There is a strong element of intimidation to bystanders and not just their immediate audience. There have to be laws of how low we are allowed to go. I hope this really gets people to thinking and that there are serious consequences for more than Imus. mg
