3. the issue with prurience

We live in a very provocative age. Nowadays, we see women and men without clothes plastered everywhere. We go online to find our childhood heroes being childhood zeroes. Our loved and adored celebrities whom we used to look up to are the celebrities we tell our kids never to follow. This age encapsulates women being sex objects and men abusing them for their reproductive organs. We stand up against this only to be brought down by the propaganda that "this is the norm".

We live in a world where people are starting to go all out for equality - but how much equality can there ever be? A woman is objectified, and this is seen as something funny. With "Meninist" tweets being bedaubed over our timelines and an occasional human rights campaign for feminism, how long will the debate ever last? Or more importantly, when will the debate ever end?

Our generation lives very coquettishly, and what are we doing about it?

In my opinion, chivalry is NOT dead. It's just lasciviousness that has decided to become more rampant in our society.
