I desire what society has dubbed a “nuclear family unit” and I am also Christian. So yeah... it’s *in me* to feel like it would be my “right” to object to my (hypothetical) woman participating in something that puts her sensuality on display.

Why?
And what good does it do us or them or society at large?

And in realizing it’s not good practice, again, I come back to that blank canvas of manhood and ask... what is “manhood” besides the pursuit of women and ultimately their forced submission to the “authority” of men.
What’s gained from living with that belief?
