It's so very sad that this even needs to be said. That women need to be shown that it's okay to demand to not be treated like prey.

Those that need this good advise will not listen. They know better. Those that really know don't need the advise.

You're probably right. But I like to pretend that there are some people not entirely in either camp that may one day see something that sparks actual thought in their heads. *shrug*

I've met lots of women who had their self esteem totally wrapped up in how attractive they appeared to men and of course I find that sad. I guess one would have to factor in the way society views women's worth in general as to why women do feel pressure to value themselves in that manner.
