This is an off-the-charts creepy thing to say.

The idea that you had to comment on this freaked me all the way out.

Then I saw the other replies.

For other readers, if you believe that men cannot have platonic relationships with women, or if the idea that women cannot have equal & equivalent beliefs around sex as men is unbelievable to you, you are suffering from an insane social position. Like literally your beliefs are weird & dangerous in ways that should encourage you to seek help.

I don’t know if you are joking or not, but the idea that women are only valuable for sexual gratification is weird and creepy and always has been.

You're getting into self-parody here, but unfortunately such comments are still poisonous. Please stop.

That first one has always been both creepy and plain misogyny.
