Dennis Prager at TownHall.com is bemoaning the practice of young females displaying more flesh than they used to. Hmmm interesting view point Dennis but not one that The Green Man supports. Like most red blooded males The Green Man welcomes the visual delights that a hot spring day delivers after the cold winter months.

Naturally, Dennis drags out the usual conservative clap trap but the statement that drew The Green Man's attention was

Playing with the sex drive, the most powerful force in nature, is far more dangerous than playing with fire.

Big call Dennis. The Green Man suspects that there are several earthquakes and the odd cyclone that would take issue with that statement. Not to mention the asteriod that hit the earth 65 million years ago that resulted in the extinction of 90% of the species that existed on the earth at the time or the "super-massive" black hole that astronomers has recently observed ripping apart a star and consuming part of it.

On a more serious note the statement demonstrates the fundamental contradiction that usually arises in these types of pieces. On one hand he is implying that we are above and separate from the animals and on the other that we are totally controlled by our biology and incapable of moderating our sexual urges.

He goes on to suggest that women are displaying more of their bodies to show, in these days of equality, that they are not men. His alternative approach appears to be for them to demonstrate their feminity by getting pregnant. If his statement about natural forces is true then The Green Man would have thought that the latter is a logical consequence of the former.

He concludes by saying

So, femininity is largely a dead concept. Ask most young women -- or men -- what it means, and you will get either a blank stare or a hostile reaction.

Where does this man live, Iran or somewhere, has he not seen Vogue or Womens Weekly or anyone of the hundreds of magazines targeted at women and promoting feminity often in a most destructive way.
