Yeah, but there are moral standards now everyone adheres to that debilitate the individual. Look at our code on sexuality. There is still a stigma attached to women who are very sexually active. Even in the back of their non-judgemental minds men everywhere think "hmmm, not the marrying/mother of my children kind". We'll also have to stick to western society because most of the world has set their reference point to 'screw women, children and minorities'.
