I agree, Margaret.

But, there are two social trends that make life much harder for young women: the prevalence and acceptance of "binge drinking" by both men and women and the easy availability of pornography to young people.

The first, lowers judgment by both men and women (of all ages). The second may normalize aggressive sexual acts. In combination, both may make life more difficult and dangerous for young women.

My wife and daughters, all now married women, managed to walk through this mine field when they were young. My concern is how my grand daughters will pass through their younger years. I perceive they will have a more difficult time than earlier generations due to the changing social mores.
