History of Feminism
In reply to the discussion: A naked human body is a naked human body, not a sex object. [View all]F4lconF16
(3,747 posts)26. I think perhaps that
most of the men you refer to "who are aware of how some men think" will also realize that the posters who discuss this are not referring to them and are not in any way attempting to disparage men as a whole.
Most men who read this will understand the intentions of the poster. I've seen this across too many of the gender threads, and it does nothing but serve as a distraction.

I guess I was being too subtle. I'm saying men can control themselves but choose not to.

No, of course not. But the difference in conduct between the sexes is staggering.

If you deny yourself contextual inference, interpretation and textual criticism...

I've heard if you keep asking a question, it's premise eventually becomes true.
