 This statement applies equally to men as well, who have been just as
socialized as women.

  For every woman conditioned to be a 'Damsel in Distress' there is a man who
is conditioned to be a 'Knight In Shining Armor'. Both roles are tiring, unfair
to the participants in different ways, and (in the total abscence of dragons)
impractical role models to hold before our childrens eyes as we enter the Third
Millenium.
