Some of the tough and resourceful broads like you could maybe pick up an M-16 and survive. But what about the rest?
Because men have, to a large extent, bought into the fallacy that says they need to be more sensitive, thoughtful, sympathetic, mild-mannered creatures, the Brittney Spears wannabes would find out that they’re not as empowered as they thought. If THAT happens, they’re gonna be looking for John Wayne, Tom Selleck, Alan Ladd and Robert Mitchum----and finding John Ritter, Tom Hanks, Alan Alda and Robert Redford.

I agree that the message these girls get is derived from the warblings of Ms. Spears et al...but its also from those "rap doods" - you know what I'm talking about - the big guy with the even bigger pants and the heavy gold chains - singing about his HO's and *******... how the purpose of the female is to service the male - that he can use her up however he pleases, after which she needs to shut up and/or go away while he moves on to the next conquest. .
I'm thinking that this can't be a good way for girls to develope any sort of self worth or esteem. I'm thinking that they see themselves as the HO's and ******* of these "thugs" - men that have forgotten that their own mother is a female - and that their sisters are women that other thugs are degrading in thought and deed.

OK - I hope to say more later - but I need to take a break.
