That's the thing though--saying there is no uprising over another cover type is basically saying, "Women do it to us, therefore we can do it to them." THAT sounds like maybe underneath it, the men in question recognize there might be a problem with it.

Which has been my issue all along. Instead of tackling the issue as if it might be a real issue, it was all dodge and muster and finger pointing at something else rather than giving it any serious thought.
