Bad things happen when societies sit idle by and let things happen. At the very least, discussions, debate, and even protesting over the topics is a healthy thing.
Beat me to it.

I'm all full of quotes this week because of something I'm doing for work, but here's a good one by Edmund Burke: All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

So this is how good men defeat evil by shaming it?

To shame is to expose. Can't defeat an evil that has not yet been exposed. So yes, that is one way.

I suspect that the next turn in conversation will be about women dancing at fraternity parties with their "boobs hanging out," as a form of temptation and a way of trapping men. This would be right before TopGun flies to Pittsburgh, when he's done listening to his LPs, of which he is a fan.

Huh. That's pretty much the image I have of all the PUA advocates on here. Wannabes strutting around online. Real men don't have to resort to cheesy pickup lines or learn how to pick up women out of a book.

You left out the part about makeup and spanx as evil female trickery.
