It's because it's understood that people won't go out and think that killing babies is okay, nor will it encourage them to go out and kill babies.

I need to stop skimming :/

Get her into the mood?

The problem with these questions is that they make sweeping generalizations about women in general, when in fact, for example, I am absolutely certain that less than 50% of women are fans of The Notebook, vampires, and health food.

If I go to parties, I put on makeup because I'm seeing people, and most other people are dressed up too. I'm not so sure you could say it's "for" them though. It's more situational than anything else.

It's sexist to reduce women to how they look, but it's not sexist to comment on it.

Ha. I had an image of someone smacking a penis around.

But i'm still curious as to your answer.

It's not whether or not they are real, it's whether or not they should be and be enforced as such.

25-30% of the couples I know. Usually it's not a large height difference either way though.

Oh come on. There are plenty of men who prefer personality first or have some other trait they like more than looks. And there are scads of women who've gone after guys based on looks alone.
