One look at this title and I know the snarling remarks will start festering under fingertips everywhere. Eagerly waiting to read the last word of this essay the brain will only then convey a signal to these digits to send bolts of sharp calumny to me the author. Wait, I think I've got it wrong. The sharp bolts of calumny are not speared at me. They are directed to certain men in power.
Who are these men in power? They are they whom seek an eager nubile intern, naïve to the wile ways of the world in order that they may deflower their spirits, hopes and dreams leaving them old, a whispering, desert, wasteland lamenting in echoes their biter, battered youth! This of course is only one side of the story as it is portrayed by the gossip spinners, whom love a good victim story because it sells magazines. There is an obvious other side of the coin seldom told because it does not appeal to American fantasy's of the sexy debutante.
The flipside of the argument is of course the woman's side one whose case can easily be made if the reader considers that familiar saying 1st printed in an article by Meryl Frost, titled, "Most Courageous Athlete of 1945" and that is, "Although I am not a great man there is a great woman behind me." You see women are attracted to men of power. This has always been the case and it being so completes the cycle. A powerful man woos a young women. The young woman in turn is wooed. Feminists may not like it as may not the GLBT advocacy groups but nature still has some influence over human sexuality.
A debutant is introduced to society at a formal social event, one where people of importance can meet and greet her. Almost certainly in this gathering she will find her future mate. Certainly not all women have the privilege of being heralded into adulthood in such a gallant manner but less formal and more common affairs serve similar if not the same purpose. Today's societal customs are less formal and in some instances border on the vulgar but they are by no means less moral and should in no way be treated as such.
Both men and women should be judged not by the biological urges that drive their desires to preserve their species and bloodline with the most optimal genetic material but by the type of work and the quality of that work to which they commit their lives anything less is just petty!
