This is the biggest bunch of BS I have ever seen. If anything women are treated better in the South. Apparently you haven't been around too much,

Still waiting for a time when we have a female president and a female majority in the supreme court and congress.

No concern whatsoever to the devastating trauma women suffer from this, that can derail their lives for years. What's wrong with people?

It is a radically feminist country. It's awful for women who have male children, too.

This has absolutely nothing to do with anything the OP is saying. This attempt at deflection is extremely poor at best.

Scary, isn't it?

What's worse is the aftermath.

If a rape victim is lucky enough to get her case to trial, more often than not she's treated worse than her abuser. If the victim had not been where she was, doing what she was doing and wearing what she was wearing.................Really?

Not only does the victim have to carry the stigma of having been raped, she also has a lifetime of trauma to deal with.

What does the rapist get? Oh, maybe a little jail time, a fine. Maybe.

Yeah, I really feel like part of a protected class. Don't you?

Of course you, a man, would feel that way. You're not a part of the elite "protected class" that the OP seems to think women are part of.

Now, if we could only find the alternate reality that it exists in.....

Not where I was born and raised.

It only appears that way on the surface. There's a lot going on behind those closed doors Honey that make-up covers pretty well.

Awful for women with male children? How so? I was thinking of creating a thread on this topic, in fact. Why are so many boys raised to thing the world revolves around them? Guys with a brand-new BA think they're experts in their subject, and somehow have the gall to lecture people who have been working in their field 10 or 20 years! Where does all this male arrogance come from? Why are mothers and fathers not instilling proper values in their male children? Is it mainly an issue of lack of involvement by the parents, boys are abandoned to be raised by their peers? What gives?
