Your remarks are an abomination to decent men every where. > > ray Personally, I don't like it either when some women choose to not trust men in general. But, it's a price men have to pay for the problem of rape. Trust can not be expected; you can try to "earn" it, but in the end, trust has to be given. Right now, women have every right to withhold trust indefinitely. Especially considering that many (or most?) rapes are committed by men known (and often trusted) by the victims. Remember that the women you're criticizing for not trusting men have less to lose when being overly defensive than when they're not careful enough... -- Rich Wagner
