Today’s new morphed definition of morality creates a deadly combination when brewed with modern time expressions of “feminism.” That is the problem right there. The world cannot come to precise terms with these two important concepts of “morality” and “feminism.” This is the reason for so much hypocrisy and controversy. There is certainly
