Based on the sometimes harsh language used by Jessica Valenti, it seems to me that she has either witnessed and/or experienced life in such a way that she's come to the conclusion that many males feel a sense of superiority over women. Their are double standards in many aspects of life, including but not limited to promiscuity and the work place, which always seem to favor men. Men are still being paid greater amounts than women and a man's reputtaion will be less than tarnished if e chose to lead a life of debauchery. Where do you think these beliefs origintaed and why do ou think they continue to exist today?
