Seems to me that the double standard is tenfold in this situation. If a man is the agressor...he is taking charge. If the woman is the agressor...she is probably a slut/whore/pig and only worth a roll in the hay...not someone you'd want to introduce to your friends and/or family. She's damned if she does and damned if she don't! To me, it's NOT the woman's fault/choice in this matter. It's society's view of her moves and even more so it's how men see her after the fact. You can't blame us (women) for something that has been perpetuated by you (men).

The double standard is alive and well in many facets of our lives. If a man is agressive at work...he is a strong leader. If a woman is agressive at work...she is a bitch to work for/with. It's a sad state of affairs!

Oops! Don't make me go burn my new bras over this! LOL! Just my slant on the issue!
