Consider the revealing clothing of many of our entertainment stars. And, the primary reason Dress Codes have been implemented at work is, the tendency of women to show-up for work with practically nothing on, or something obviously inappropriate for a professional setting. I don't know if they do it because of ignorance-stupidity-or immorality, but regardless, it is one more reason to establish rules and enforce them. An honest person - without an agenda - need only look at our legal system to find numerous examples of the mistreatment of men. Divorce, Family Matters, Domestic Disputes, Child Custody issues; laws dealing with these issues have been corrupted by feminists, lesbians, and women's rights groups to the detriment of men, and to the concept of justice - in general. Right now, in the United States, families are being torn apart, men are having their constitutional rights taken away from them, and children are being bastardized, via the Violence Against Women's Act - which is unequally enforced. Tiger's Woods wife should have been arrested under that law, but because she is a woman she was not. If she had been the spouse assaulted with a golf-club, you can bet that Tiger Woods would have been arrested and charged with multiple violations of the law. It is, as Mark rightly states, hypocritical of the 'West' to criticize other nations for their laws against indecency. It is ethnocentric, too. Every nation has laws against what it considers to be "vices", but it is only the 'West' that considers it's vice-laws to be appropriate, while criticizing the vice laws of other countries. Dath:

I'm a "Westerner," I live in the United States, and I am a man. I don't agree with you that my rights are ignored in this country, and I don't consider "the ability to not be offended" a right, especially with how vaguely "offense" can be applied. I feel that we have very large differences in our background, and I would like to more clearly understand your position. Please elaborate for me how you feel that Western Men's rights are ignored. Thank you so much for your time! Hiya, Mark.

The real problem is the disgusting females these days who want to have no rules when it comes to their conduct and want to do whatever they please, no matter how offensive it is to others. This is why giving equal rights to women has proven to be an aberration. Look at women in the West...feminists and lesbians are taking over and men's rights are trampled upon. This is what women do when they're given power. Many in the UK criticise certain countries re. their treatment of women, but look at the West!! A man is just supposed to accept any and all of the changes that give women more and more rights while men's rights are ignored. What hypocrisy for those in Western nations to get on their soapbox with their morally superior attitude and denounce countries like Sudan. The authorities did what was right according to their law.
