AAM ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING - September 29, 2007. Don't Miss Out!!!!!
*****************************************************************
Here's an article about the "freedoms" women found in the sexual revolution:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19053382/
The last thing I am doing is portraying women as innocent victims. Women have the capacity to prevent being taken advantage of, being used and being utilized as a 'stop-gap' until the 'one they want shows up.' Being accurately informed of what's actually going on in men's heads will help women young and old make the decisions that will have a positive effect on their lives. If a young woman realizes that when she moves in with her 'boyfriend', he may not be planning to marry her and he does not necessarily intend to marry her; he may very well consider her temporary. Knowing this ahead of time may help her make the decision not to do this.

This took a great deal of time."
