In my opinion, women are held to a higher social status today then men are. Look around and you'll see it. Look at any sit-com. Porno might make women sexual objects, but sit-coms make men into bumbling idiots and the wives into the know-it-all, perfection filled paragons of awesomeness who always clean up the messes their fool husbands create.

Look at the laws which have assault carrying less punishment than assault on a female.

James Brown said it best: "This is a man's world. But it wouldn't be nothin' without a woman or a girl."
