By making sex so available and accessible for men it allows them to lose respect and not value courtship the way they did years ago in western cultures or as they still do in many parts of the world.
To be clear, I love my independence, freedom and the power I have as a woman in this country… but we must admit that sometimes we all have the fantasy of old fashion[ed] respect along with the guarantee of one day having a house, husband and children. But it seems that the fantasy of courtships like the scene in The Godfather where Michael meets the virgin Appolonia in Sicily and conveys ultimate respect to her and her family is now passé….
And for many women, that is nothing to celebrate.
