50 [lbo-talk] Contemporary forms of female self-objectification -- rank: 1000

Further from Tamika: I see. Yes men taking advantage of women can't be ignored. But it goes on everyday. And although the people are quite involved I still have not read nor do I have a solution for this problem. Only to stay true to self and fight for your rights. But it will probably always be a struggle for women regarding some men (not all) trying to take advantage. My girl friend and I were talking about the problems of men in our relationships. Even the best of men try to see how far ...
