Statements like this:

"I don't believe men universally look at other women."

Make me want to set the record straight not for myself, but so that another person doesn't end up disappointed or hurt down the line because they received a sugarcoated, feminized version of what men truly are. It's similar to the threads where women catch their husbands watching p*rn and are crushed because they too thought they had "One of the good ones."

I don't think we're pigs or disgusting for what we are, and want to be able to have our tendencies expressed for what they are, and not under the pretense that the ones that are this way are pigs, but the ones who don't like that kind of stuff are the good ones. Because more often than not, that line of thinking has blindsided many a woman when she learns that she's been dealing with a pig in sheep's clothing.
This is missionary work. Tough love.
