They'd rather not lose their right to "sexually express" themselves by using this sort of language. It would impede on their ability to build comradarie with their 'boys', and after all - it's completely natural. Men in the past have objectified women, so certainly men of today should be allowed the same courtesy. It's clearly an inherent trait in men, one that cannot be impeded in the name of civility. Objectification happens, so you should just get over it.

Furthermore, your and my belief that its common acceptance as "OK" is systemic, and indicative of a much larger problem of harassment and abuse is ridiculous, and we should "get over it."

Oh, and finally - becuase they themselves would be FLATTERED by a woman saying "I'd hit that," you and other females should either (a) use that to your advantage, manipulating men with your sexual wiles or (b) be flattered by it, too.

It just sounds so silly when I say it..
