Men are perpetually willing sexual objects that all women have rights to at will.
That's the one claim I'm having the most trouble swallowing. (Please correct me if I have it wrong.) It basically means men are second-class citizens and perhaps don't even have autonomy.
For example, if the women with whom I interact consistently touch me in sexual ways, there is nothing I can do about it. If my SO found out about this and wanted to divorce me, I would be at fault because I was a willing participant, automatically, partly (or wholly) due to the fact that I prefer multiple partners by default based on my sex.
Do I have it right?
