I agree with you, but I also see evidence that this is changing.

I think the modern sex movies are depicting women in a much more
powerful position.  The female stars in many scripts (in particular
those written by women) are allowed to show most of the behavior we
commonly associate with men (oggling the men, picking them up at
bars, objectifying the sex).  (Is this good?  I can't tell!)

MARKEDLY different is the portrayal of women in our modern
soft-porn:  Rock videos and teenage sex comedys.  According to my
hearsay research, the women here are depicted as exceedingly 
dominating over men -- and using sex as the source of thier power.

<sigh> ... are we equals anywhere?  Does this mean I'm not
allowed to enjoy a Playboy?
