		<description>wolfking_wa,

Marriage is not prostitution.  Rather, it is a contract.

"Love and honor in times of illness or misfortune..."

However, these days after a man slaves for five days and comes home on Friday evening exhausted, a woman is singing

"What have you done for me lately?"

Even Korean women who used to be a loyal partner and a co-worker to build a home history(I cannot find the right word for this concept in English) are now fantasizing about a greener pasture via divorce.  Newspapers, magazines and TV soap operas are daring women to be strong and kick out weak husbands and look for more exciting possibilities.

Western idea of women's lib has invaded Korea.  Korea used to be quiet and ethical society deeply rooted in Confucianism.  Men used to men(Ahaaaaa~~~Tarzan call) here.  Now, we are clowns just like men in the western society.

		<description>The article about college students has this funny translation:
"58.5 percent of women fingered friends".  The whole sentence makes sense in a non-sexual way, but I had to read it twice to get it. Then again, maybe that's because it's 3 AM....</description>

		<description>As a rebuttal to it being illegal to pay for sex:

Sex is never free.  Even if you take a woman (or man for that matter) out on a date, you pay for it.  Even if you don't pay with money, you still have to invest time and energy.

Marriage is the highest form of prostitution.  You pay for LIFE!

Last time I checked...Marraige (and sex between husband and wife) was still legal</description>

		<description>"Thanks for the lesson in hyperbole."

For the lesson in reality, you are quite welcome.

As for the hyperbole, there's none there at all.  That's the sad part of it all.</description>

		<description>Okay, hyperbole is too strong.

To put it in another way: 

A crack commando unit CAN be sent to jail for a crime they didn't commit. They CAN escape to the LA underground, and they CAN survive as soldiers of fortune. And if you have a problem, and if you CAN find them, maybe you CAN hire them.</description>

		<description>...When men are afraid of women?€?of being her slave, paying her one half of all he earns [forever]...
Absolutely correct.

Sounds more like the general bit of insecurity that comes with diminished social dominance to me. 
I'm not being harsh, William, but it sounds like you haven't been in the USA for at least 5 years.

For those not familiar with the male-bashing laws in the USA, here are the cold facts:

1) A man can be forced to pay child-support even if the child is PROVEN to be NOT HIS.  For example, a woman can say "William G" is the father, and William G kinda, sorta matches the description, the innocent man is on the hook for 18+ years.  This situation is most often exercised in the state of California, and this scenario was recently outlined by journalist Mark Steyn.

2) A man can be forced to pay child-support for some  single-mother's kid if that single-mother thinks the man is a better paycheck than the original sperm donor.  All she needs to say is that the child sees the man as a 'father figure' and that innocent man is on the hook.  The is a more recent law, actively enforced in Washington State (the state next to Vancouver, BC for those who don't know).

If I can find the link again I'll post the article.</description>

		<description>not only is proper education a big downfall in korea but so is women's empowerment. 

(&lt;a href="http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/nation/200505/kt2005051720002511970.htmgirls/)" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/nation/200505/kt2005051720002511970.htmgirls/)&lt;/a&gt;

women need to be encouraged to have the guts to insist that their boyfriends use condoms during intercourse. they need to be told that it is their right to mandate so and they need to be educated on how to resist the pressure and simply walk away should their partner refuse. (which won't happen. if they stand their ground, the man will eventually--even if he is reluctant--listen to her. i think it's safe to say that hormones will win out in the end and the man will agree to wear a condom if the woman insists on it.)

likewise, men here also need to be taught basic health issues regarding sex and how condoms can be beneficial to them as well.

although things are changing, this is still a very male-dominated culture and a sincere effort needs to be made to teach women in particular how to take a stand.</description>
