Now, especially since women have gotten suffrage and legal entitlement to inheritance, they are controlling finances and flaunting institutions and conventions, even to the extent of adopting Hollywood sirens' displays of porn, tattoos, and of course what used to be called profane speech. And our news media make a sport of it, showing women fighting in public, doing ugly things to get attention. Hard to know what women's virtues are anymore, so many are prostituting themselves for survival, getting drug dependent, aborting unwanted children. So I'd say you're talking about "depraved life," too. |
