    Straight up. Not to derail this and make it about men but I would be remiss not to add that the idea that men are incapable of controlling ourselves around women is sexist against men too.

    It’s such a weird argument to throw men under the bus to justify victim-blaming women.

      Absolutely; like I said, I find it deeply insulting and it absolutely is sexist. In the vein of “we cain’t have a wummun president because she’d start a war soon’s she gets her period”, we could say that “national security is threatened because the men can’t stop awooga-ing at that hot dame’s cans”. It’s patently ridiculous and we all should be offended by these idiots, christ.
