Years ago I heard a speech by the Pope on women's lib.
To paraphrase:
"Perhaps the reason we have so many women trying to stand up in the roles of men is because we don't have enough men trying to stand up in the roles of men."
IF men are to be seen as the *protectors* and caregivers, then yes. The reality is that being taught to rely on men puts women at a disadvantage when those men fail and go on to commit abusive behavior.
I would have absolutely no problem with convicting either sex of libelous, fraudulent allegations that are made without merit. However, I can do that without stomping all over the victims of these types of assaults.
One of the reasons why there is such a divide is the attitude and expectations of men VS. women. Seriously, when is the last time you heard a man referred to as derogatory, sexually explicit term because they have been sexually promiscuous?
