If you don't like the women on this side of the Atlantic then don't date/marry them. Problem solved. Everyone's happy. And the prudes can hook up with each other. But wait- is it only women that are prudes? Then the men can hook up with each other and the women will attend book clubs.
Ah, you know, same old same old. Someone is wrong on the internet.
