But that's just it. It IS the acceptable norm now, it's just that some, perhaps you, based on your comment, don't like it. This, too, shall pass.

If some women didn't give it up so easy this would not be a problem. It's easy for some to play men but when women can't keep thier skirts down who is to blame? Men AND women have the same problem.

Not really. I was raised a certain way and take pride in how I am. I am not a part of the "hookup culture" nor will I ever be.

But women DO give it up so easy now. Things have changed, and they're not going back.

Why do you see it as a "problem"?

It's considered sexism nowadays if you expect a woman to be sexually conservative because, in the minds women, being sexually conservative = being sexually unattractive. This is because Caucasian women (who make up the majority of women living in feminist societies) have become so insecure about their bodies, due to exaggerated feminist standards of beauty perpetuated by the mainstream media and entertainment industries, as well as the knowledge that women of other cultures possess much more universally appealing characteristics, that they cannot tolerate the thought of being unattractive, let alone being rejected sexually. The onus is then put on males to ensure that each and every female, no matter unattractive physically or mentally she is, never has to experience the feeling of being unattractive"
Im having a real hard time with the bolded. Is someone actually trying to connect feminist standards of beauty and perpetuated by mainstream media. Somehow I cant put the two together. It feels like an oxymoron.

I also wasnt aware that it was factual study that non-caucasian women were universally viewed as having more appealing characteristics.

Which is your right. But more and more, people aren't being raised as you were. A trend I predict will continue.

Immune to the emotions? Then isn't it just mutual masturbation at this point?
