French women 'are the sexual predators now'

[GianGian]

That is disgusting news.

2) American women are the same way. It's not peculiar to the French.

Regardless, there are huge cultural differences between Europe and the US regarding sexuality, regardless of the statistics.

I think that's a lot less true than it once was, and to the extent it's still true it's because the U.S. has more evangelical Christians than Europe does, and it's a difference confined mainly to that subculture. I have certainly not found American women to be sexually passive.

GianGian, why do you say it's disgusting? I think it's great, myself.

An increase in demand is often caused by a decrease in supply.

Yeah, even if you're from a small conservative town in the Midwest like me you'll see evidence of women not being passive. I mean if you haven't, just go to college or live in a town or city bigger than your own, and I'm sure you'll see the difference. Even where Christianity is more than just "subculture," secularism is still very dominant, especially with the topic of sexuality. Good or bad, that's how it is these days.
