Good for them. Unfortunately, some (most?) Victorian men viewed these
women as less than respectable. It was better for women to have
Vaginismus than to enjoy sex back then.

Women born in America don't know how lucky they are. In some countries
today, men and boys are first and second class citizens, while women and
girls are third and fourth class citizens. Most of the women who are
brave enough to protest, lose their lives (in public) for doing so.

That's what "Inside Deep Throat" (2005) is for. The more some things
change, the more some things stay the same. 2 thumbs up by Ebert and
Roeper.

Yes, but it was still a private legal issue, and that's why many people
suffered in silence. We did not know (or want to know) the real details
of the situations. This year alone, Oprah (a survivor herself) has gone
so far into this perversion, that i'm surprised that the FCC hasn't at
least warned her to cool it down a little. I could be wrong, but she was
the first (years ago) to actually interview (on TV) some victimizers,
after interviewing many of their survivors.

I do believe that's what FurPaw said.

It's mostly a Middle-Eastern Arabic and African Black Muslim issue. Just
like female circumcision or FGM (Female Genital Mutilation) mostly done
in Nigeria.

Not all parents could cope with it. Just look at how many grandparents
are raising their children's children today. Where have all their
biological parents gone?

There is a difference between "Normal English" and "Hip-Hop English". In
"Normal English" it's Nigger and Niggers. In "Hip-Hop English" it's
Nigga and Niggaz. As a white woman who lives in a mostly non-white area,
i hear it all day everyday.

Agreed. Why mention gays at all and in such a derogatory way? Weak
people don't like strong people. That's what's going on.
And like with the N-word, Mikayla, if you aren't one, you don't get to
use the slur.
