First off, I'd like to say "hear hear" for Red - women are just as bad as men, equally obsessed with looks if not even more so. I have never told a girl to her face that she was ugly - however I have had derogatory remarks made to me directly by females.
Secondly, is it really that bad to be told you're nice, attractive, whatever? Would you prefer a life of being ignored, never complimented no matter how crass the remark? Sure, there are limits - but I hardly think a wolf-whistle or "Hey baby" is offensive (unless you're stupidly over sensitive).
Finally, if anyone thinks that men hold the power then they are completely wrong. When it comes to the battle of the sexes, the women hold all the Aces in the pack.
Men are constantly competing to gain the attention of some female out there. They wear certain clothes, drive certain cars, wear certain aftershave all for this reason. If a woman was to walk in a room and ask for sex, most of the time she would not be short of offers. If a male was to do the reverse, I think the success rate would be much lower.
All you need to do is think of the sheer amount of ways time and money is gotten from men in order to have anything to do with an attractive female.... Porn, lap dancing, buying drinks in a bar, dating, flowers, gifts and so on.....
There may be many aspects of life where men appear to have the upper hand, but equally there's a gazillion other aspects where women have the upper hand - I know it, and my girlfriend knows it.
You do realise that 90% of all DIY tasks by men are performed under the promise of sexual favours?
Behind every great man is an even greater woman - so true so true....
