Women and Fun

Has there ever been a more destructive, pervasive mantra and cultural meme than "Girls JUST want to Have Fun?"

Fun - when moderate and well-earned - is fine, but like pleasure, it is fleeting. MissLed women misguidedly pursue pleasure and fun, when what they should be seeking (by different behaviors) is happiness:
"Sometimes we confuse having fun with being happy.  The latter is virtually
impossible without a personal history of restraint and discipline.  Sometimes
in order to reach happiness we must forgo fun."  - Choosing Civility, P M Fornihttp://www.amazon.com/Choosing-Civility-Twenty-five-Considerate-Conduct/dp/0312302509/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1305656006&sr=1-1

I'm sure Cindy Lauper didn't mean anything by it...
