What an inspiration. This is a new book by Andace Rose. It truly helped me cope with my current situation. I suggest everyone check it out, she is a truly talented writer. Let me know if you've heard about it yet?

I don't think that I misunderstood you at all.
I completely disagree with this statement: I was simply stating that this world tries to make us think that sex is all that we have to offer.
How does the world try to make us think that? I don't see it at all. I think that it may be your perception of the situation because I don't see the world trying to do this.
I agree with you IC - Jules is trying to fight it but she knows it's true... she just doesn't want to admit it or believe it - none of us do - so we all do what we can to fight that truth - she's just doing what she knows to do to fight it!
I have to admit I use sex as power but I also like sex so I tend to give up my power too easily to some! Damgamit! :p
I would be careful to not make assumptions about what other people know or don't know. I am not a deluded person. I have a pretty good sense of self. Just because I don't feel victimized by culture like the two of you do does not mean that I am trying to "fight' anything.
It must be nice to be so omniscient.

I would be interested, if you all have the time of course, in knowing what influenced each of your views on this topic. What experiences or public figures (whether that be politicians, entertainers, business women, religious leaders, etc.) helped mold your outlooks regarding women and their roles in society?
Thanks in advance!
