Many of us can remember the time when a woman was to be barefoot, pregnant, and the primary person in the home to cook, clean, and take care of things that the bread winner or man did not wish to deal with. Things have changed as can be perceived from the exhibited sexuality of women in the 21st century.

For decades a woman was to submit to her husband and be at his beck and call. She was expected to be a virgin at marriage and should be able to cook, clean and do regular household chores to earn her keep from her husband. She was treated as a lesser individual because she was a female.

Things started to change for women in the late 1800 and early 1900's but it was not until the 1980's women could really start expressing themselves without receiving at least one of many derogatory names associated by men to her sexuality. Women really started looking out for themselves in this era and rather than assuming the lifestyle of old started a change. A change for the better.

No more would the days reign that a woman had to be married by a certain age or cast out into oblivion and termed an old maid. No more would she have to be a virgin to be married. What she would need to do is to work on her education and career. There will be time for a family later.

In the early 1980s and prior a woman would be considered a "slut" or "trash" if she had sex with multiple partners before marriage or, after. A woman was unable to express her sexuality in any form. Men loved this because it gave them the opportunity to teach their wife and "train their wife in the way they thought sex should be. Basically he gave him that macho feeling may of us used to hear about.

Now men feel threatened because more often than not a woman will teach the man things he has only dreamed about. Women are becoming more dominant in sex and relationships. Women are starting to set the ground rules the men must live and abide by in order for a relationship to work. Women's sexuality has become a dominating factor in society today.

Many individuals feel threatened by this new lifestyle or way of expressing the sexuality of women. The only threatening thing about it is, change. There are now more house husbands than before, and more women earning the living in these homes. Older men are threatened because this takes away from the norms they were taught and raised with.

We were taught by many that when a young lady slept with other individuals that when she marries she would continue to do so. Just the opposite
