That's the real world. But your idea that women have the right to do what ever they choose without negative results isn't reality. You might think it should be, you might want it to be, but it isn't reality. Doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, it's not reality. And it works both ways. Guys do it too. That's reality.

And accepting reality does not endorse it.
I think your view underestimates a great many men... and women.

And you're absolutely right--accepting reality does not endorse it. That's why I think it can and should be changed.

Accepting an unequal reality without any drive to change it DOES endorse it.
