Scary numbers alright.  Question: did you give a poll like this to
women?  If not, why not.  If so, could you post the results?

It would be interesting to have questions worded both ways:

	Would you feel a man was entitled to sex
	if he spent more than $50 on you?

	Would you feel you were entitled to sex
	if you spent more than $50 on a man?
