329. Except, as I've said elsewhere, the culture's patriachical
response is to curtail *women's* behavior. That IS oppressing women.

Because men would be tempted or distracted, women's behavior is limited. Their very view of the world is lessened -- literally -- to a small square. Their ability to move freely in the world is constrained. Their ability to control their lives.

Seems to me it might be better for the men to have to take responsibility for themselves and their own weaknesses and behavior.
