I have never intentionally or unintentionally sexually assaulted a woman.

I have always thought doing so would be wrong. Morally and legally. My parents never really indicated that it was wrong. But I am sure they would not have approved if I had. I believe it was expected to get to know a woman first and build on it. So why are there men that are jerks about this and don't care that it is wrong to mistreat women? What the hell is wrong with them?

believe that women were either to breed or to fuck, and as such were little more than appliances. They were raised to believe that if they did it, it couldn't be all that bad because only those OTHER people did things that were really bad.
