This may or may not be true. Also please note that, since it certainly changes the way women feel about men, and act towards and with men, it can also have the opposite effect. For instance, by making women "suspect" men in general. How about continuing the discussion with the following subject?: How can this society reduce the incidence of rape? (1/3! of all women in this country will eventually be raped is the statistic I've heard). mike
