Why do you get angry at men for trying to touch you when your job involves turning them on and getting them hot and bothered? If you were the one being turned on, I doubt you’d be able to have much control over yourself, either. That has nothing to do with “male entitlement” and everything to do with the fact that being turned on makes it hard to control yourself. It’s basic human nature.

I can absolutely control myself when I am turned on. It’s seriously amazing how, in 30 years, I’ve actually managed to never sexually assault anyone. Thanks for the contribution, I wish I could warn all the women in your life that you think nonconsensual touching is acceptable.

Given the tone of the message, I think it’s unrealistic to assume that they have any women in their life to warn in the first place.

Gross. I saw a post recently that said something like, “isn’t it odd women can never blame our actions on our hormones without reproach (I was angry/emotional due to PMS etc), while men can assault us and blame it all on their hormones getting the best of them?”

This makes me think about how it’s illegal for women to be topless in public, but not for men… And it’s cause men don’t want to even be aroused without their consent, and basically women are taught to respect men’s sexual boundaries from a very young age even if they are aroused
