I guess I grew up in a different time...when men respected women. What has changed in the hearts and souls of people who choose to defy humility and grace? Maybe it all can be attributed to the media (tv, movies, newspapers, magazines) that make women look and act like sluts. People may think it's corny or old-fashioned to watch tv shows that I watched growing up. Men and women didn't display sex openly in the entertainment media. TV and movies are out of control today. Even sitcoms have gone overboard with portraying women as sex objects. This didn't exist when I was a child and as a teenager, the teen boys I knew respected us and never used force to get what they wanted. If we said "NO", it stayed "NO". It was acceptable. TODAY, "NO" is not acceptable because it appears everywhere in the media that women never say "NO". I'm sure the majority of parents watch the same shows as their teens do and make it acceptable. Where is morality? Where is their standard of belief in spirituality? Even religious role-models aren't role models anymore, they are immoral as well. Chivalry is definitely dead today.
