I do think it is demaning to women in general. No matter what age, a person, whether they be male or female is capable of not understanding the message they are projecting. My post was directed at a young person and I was relating to what I thought was/is his meaning.

Men have images of women which creates a sexual appetite, or it may be the other way around.

Perhaps you should define that more clearly for me to fully understand what you mean by it.

That is your choice as it is this girls choice. I would not begrudge you that. What I am talking about is the reinforced message that because of this, a woman can not handle important matters of politics and business.

I am speaking strickly from my personal view and opinion. I am a man, 51 years of age, married once with 5 adult children. Being a male at my age, I understand what younger men generally experience sexually and emotionally and that is the perspective I spoke from.
