Didn't mean it to be...but yea, it presumes because of what's been said, not that it may have been different in some time frame before. I mean, of all things to be so "insulted" or adamant about, this is what's so evil?? A crude comment or two?

I think the comments were made about not knowing how some guys' minds are, not about how people are.
Your concerns have been "addressed" just not in the manner you might have hoped for(more presumptions, but, hey...sue me
)
Just seems that, with 6 pages of this, a lot more is being made of a simple phrase than is warranted. It
is a joke and shouldn't be taken seriously.
And to say that men are the ones who claim not to be affected by the sexualized view of women and not recognize that women too are affected is just as much a denial as you claim has been shown here.
We do it to each other, we do it to ourselves. We show ourselves in a way to invite an "I'd hit that". It's when you* turn around and get indignant about the very thing you invited that you can expect not to have your views or comments taken seriously. This is not to say that anything more deviant than commentary should be expected, but let's not kid ourselves.
That's a few more words than I planned on on this subject......
*you is collective and not meant as a personal finger pointing.
