  Hey, it is their choice.

  I think looking at men as a sex to be stung for money objectifies men in the same way as prostitution does women.

  Very true...However, I think if a woman is a prostitute it is her choice and her way of life. Much like a stripper. I have no problem with it. I had a discussion on the matter with friends, and we all agree is it a honest paying job. When a guy buys me a drink he knows I am married, I am not asking him or demanding a drink--he also knows that I am not going home with him.(this is all said and done before he orders the drink for me) Brooke

  Fair enough Brooke. As you can imagine, life can be precarious for a man who likes to show women that he's generous and he can take good care of her but doesn't want to be taken advantage of.

  Even now, if the family is together for a Christmas function where presents are unwrapped, Mum will save the paper for wrapping things for the "Lucky Dips" that she runs at various fairs and fetes she attends.

  I should add, just to take the piss, at these times I say "Quick kids! Rip open those presents or you'll be getting the paper again on your next present from Grandma!"

  I used the phrase "that he's generous and he can take good care of her" because that seems the way the world still is. I guess in a trully equal world men and women should be concerned with taking care of eachother and the only issue would be that you are loving and generous. I guess in such a world there would be no women soliciting money from men, equal employment and maybe finally the oldest profession would be laid to rest. I think we're a long way off it at the moment.
