“What about cat calls…”

I have never been on the receiving end of catcalling, nor do I engage in it. However, I don’t imagine that it would bother me much if I were to be catcalled by a woman.

“…put up with unsavory women pawing at you, harassing you at work, creating religions that say that you must obey women and that we must have laws to cage your sexual expression?”

Men tend to be less susceptible to distress when receiving uninvited sexual attention from a woman than a woman receiving such attention from a man.

I can offer a personal example. Once, many years ago, I was “Kavanaughed.” That’s right, a woman who had had a bit too much to drink tackled me and attempted to sexually assault me. And, as in the incident involving Ms. Ford, her friends who were present convinced her to desist.

Unlike the incident involving Ms. Ford, it didn’t ruin the rest of my life; in fact, it didn’t even ruin the rest of my afternoon. I had been invited to the neighbor’s to watch a rerun of “Star Trek.” Subsequent to the incident we all enjoyed the episode with my attacker present. I now recall the incident as mildly amusing.

Quite a difference between one man’s reaction and one woman’s reaction to the exact same kind of incident, wouldn’t you say? True, it is only a single anecdotal example, but it nicely illustrates the difference between male and female sexuality and the difference in how we perceive and respond to sexual aggression from the opposite sex.

There are no laws requiring men to “cage their sexual expression?” When it comes to sex, I can do anything I want? Act on any impulse without running afoul of the law?
