We're more sexually repressed than men, having been given a much more strict puritanical code of behavior than men ever have.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
But we're still in somewhat a Puritanical society in a lot of ways.
I saw women that were repressed. When they're in classes with young men, they shut up all the time. They're laughed at if they have unusual ideas. They have to be sexy; then, they can't really think.
I was raised to think that if you behaved badly with men, you went to hell. I realise now it is puritanical and not very adult.
As societies continue to loosen their standards regarding what is appropriate female and male behavior, I think we are going to realize we have not only underestimated women, but also men.
Human sexuality has been regulated and shaped by men to serve men's needs.
Male nudity, full-frontal nudity, has always been considered a lot more taboo than female nudity. As far back as I can remember, there's been a double standard between men and women. I think it's time that men get equal time in terms of nudity.
I never had any hang-ups about sex. As for being sexually repressed, nothing could be further from the truth. There are more hang-ups now than ever there were when I was growing up.
Demands for equality for women are threats to men's self-esteem and sense of sexual turf.
High testosterone levels have been proven to make men more likely to commit crimes. The tendency in men toward risky behaviour keeps turning up even where socialization is different, and so does crime and delinquency.
We undress men and women, we don't dress them any more.
