Clueless Posted Dec 9, 2004 21:19 UTC (Thu) by thompsot (guest, #12368) [Link] Actually, that's when men treated women like they were jewels and were expected to win a woman's heart the hard way, not just hop into bed with her on the first date, and there was a certain expectation of good behavior on both parts. Sorry you misunderstood.
Clueless Posted Dec 10, 2004 1:26 UTC (Fri) by etbe (subscriber, #17516) [Link] Thompsot, one thing you are really clueless about is history.It's a really modern idea that a couple spend months or years dating before getting married. Arranged marriages have historically been common in all cultures, as have situations where women had no economic options other than to get married. The idea that men should "win a woman's heart the hard way" is a very sexist idea that you generally only see in the trashiest fiction books (Mills and Boone). Ever considered the possibility that women should "win a man's heart the hard way and not just hop into bed with him on the first date"? It takes the agreement of both parties for sex on a first date (or any date for that matter). Why should it be the man's fault if the woman wants sex on a first date?
