"A person acting responsibly, does not get drunk and get into bed with a stranger."

Now there's a diistinction that means something.

Being responsible for ones-self is not the same thing as being responsible for being raped.


"Lads expect sex on the first date, as do the girls."

Not true.

Lads hope for sex, and girls feel under pressure to consent to it.

Studies have shown that young girls often end up in bed because of social pressure.


As for "the old ways"

Would that be the ways in which, up until 1991, a wife was considered to be the property of her husband and therefore unrapable by him?

Or going further back would that be the old ways in which women were paid less?

or denied an education?

or denied the vote?


Bollocks to that!


Young women these days - and I mean real young women, not fantasy young women that entice innocent young fantasy puppy dogs into their lairs before stoking them up into fantasy mindless slathering beasts - the majority of young women today are courageous, great fun to know, are not afraid to express their opinions or take on challenges, and are interesting rounded and honest.

More importantly, they are more in touch with what they are looking for in men. They know what they want emotionally and sexually and they are more likely to be choosy.

Not like in your day when they would slnk off under the boardwalk in blackpool or wherever it was, only to be raped by some twat with no manners.

Women talk openly, so their friends know who they are with, and they live their lives out in the open where they can be helped if they are in trouble.

The good old days were a time of much more violence against women, only it was never talked about as it was more accepted.

More power to the young independant self aware courageous women of today, relationships with whom are not ridden with cliches and platitudes, but honest open and meaningful conversations.

And a glass raised to their predecessors who fought and suffered the humiliation of men and complicit women to give our daughters the freedom and equality they deserve.

I love 'em all!
