Sorry, Greg, only half of your response got through (the one about the French women). I couldn't see it on my phone. I can now see it on my laptop.

Yes, the French have a different perspective. On the other hand, six months after I arrived in the States, I wanted nothing to do with American men. It's the first (and only) country in the world where I have lived where cleavage is seen as a sexual signal, and where I was asked whether I did the first date or the third date.

I had to ask what was meant, and I was told whether I had sex on the first date or the third date. That was it, for me. I loathed the way American men saw me as a sexual item.

I have never dressed with cleavage since. The idea that men look at me for sex is repulsive to me. In retrospect, they probably do in every country, but it was in America that I was made aware of it.

Also, sexual relationships between men and women has never been of interest to me. It was never an issue in my family. I simply have no interest in feminism.
