The article by Ms. Liebau is an accurate one, no doubt about that. I wonder if, however, it might not be too little, too late. Normally, as a male, I would not comment on these "women's" issues. I have enough trouble with the radical feminists without this issue. Ms. Liebau, however opines that men ought to help disabuse young, and not so young, girls of this behavior.

The genie came out of the barrel with the legalization of abortion any time any where. Women used to keep men civilized and kind of under control much of the time. Women used to know how to say "no" and mean it. After all, when it came to sex, men had the fun and women bore the results, which wasn't fun. Times have changed. Now there is no "cost", no price to be paid for rampant sex, any time, any where, with any person. The woman can simply abort the resulting inconvenience.

Little did we know when I was a raging hormone teenager, that the girls were more anxious to jump into bed then even we were. We didn't know how aggressive the female of the species could be in pursuing a continuing stream of new sexual conquests.

I read that over 50% of our population is female. Well over 50% of the adult women under 50 (there are extremely few "ladies" left) are inclined to "have sex" with multiple men, women, and/or children at almost any time and place. Face it, people, girls as young as middle school age are pursuing men and boys for the purpose of having intercourse. Oral sex is no longer considered sex. Exhibitionism and debauchery are the happening thing today, and the female portion of the population is leading the way and, in fact, showing the males how it is done.

p>Ms. Liebau, I would love to see your attitude become the norm again. I am just afraid that we will not see such a revolutionary change in societal morals in our lifetimes, unless Islam does, in fact, take over. br> -- Ken Shreve /p>

Mr. Tyrrell and Ms. Liebau have independently chronicled the current cultural rot and incivility within our country, albeit from two distinct perspectives. Sadly however, if you overlay these articles onto one another, the analysis fits both perfectly. While it is a given that preceding generations will bemoan the quickening pace of the next generation's race towards Gomorrah, nonetheless, what is happening in our society today spans those generational differences. It is also no coincidence that Democrat leaders and Hollywood starlets, of all ages, are guilty of the same over the top crassness and juvenile behavior; after all, their sense of entitlement derives from same casuistry. Since Florida 2000, the vilification of George Bush has become its own cottage industry, with each new attack requiring the next to be even more outlandish and outrageous. Breathtaking lies about the economy, Iraq, global warming and more, are roundly applauded from elite circles everywhere. The recent tirade by the 3rd rate actor, Michael Richards, bubbled from the same ego cauldron that allowed Senator â€"Elect Webb and Senator Kerry to mouth their crudeness, without an ounce of regret.

p>A pathology of self-absorption and entitlement has granted immunity for dangerous and boorish behavior to be perceived as chic or even gutsy. Messrs. Richards, Kerry and Webb, as well as Ms. Spears, not only can't keep their legs together, they can't seem to keep their lips together either. What's worse, they revel in it .Mr. Tyrrell attributes some of this behavior to irrationality and abnormality. Ms. Liebau calls for all adults to come forward. Who could disagree? br> -- A.
