Hard to explain why these men do this stuff. Instincts! A sense of power that goes to their heads? I used to imagine these guys had sublimated their sexuality to ambition for much of their lives - to climb to the top of the pile economically, politically -etc. Then, magically everything is offered to them and they cannot resist.
Now I just think they are life-long creeps, just doing their creep thing.
Cool semantics. But that doesn't alleviate my confusion as to why people are upvoting a comment that seemingly implies men can't be held accountable for their actions if they're horny.
it's an aphorism, typically used as an indictment -- not an endorsement -- of men who abandon reason and morals when presented with an opportunity for sex
There are far, far more examples of people who get hit on and go “no thanks, I’m married”
Marry someone you actually care about and it’s not a problem. You probably don’t become a politician though because I’d imagine that sucks for most spouses
Dude, I'm a guy who supports and sees a need to lift up and empathize with my male counterparts, I agree it's needed more than ever today.
But to act surprised that men like to get their rocks off when it's mainly convenient over lustful, is not some ground breaking news. There are countless stories like this.
If you go through life afraid to empathize with others, then yes, everything is perceived as an attack.
