Just as a personal experiment I would like you to take a step back and imagine your reaction and everybody else's reaction to this article if the writer had not been a woman. I think it's an interesting question at least.
"Hi, I'm Dave. Now, you'd think it'd be an easy life being the sexiest hunk of man in my over-eaters support group, but you'd be dead wrong. Why, just the other day I was walking out of the bowling alley when I saw some poor girl waiting in the parking lot. I was even thinking of just walking by her, but then I saw her coyly turn her head away from me. 'Now Dave,' I said to myself. 'You can't just leave that poor woman alone. She's obviously attracted to the scent of your raw animal musk. It doesn't smell like sweat at all! It'd be rude to just leave her.'"
"So I tried to strike up a conversation with the little lady out of pity. She tried acting aloof, and even pretended to phone the police station, but it was obviously a bluff, since only the emergency responders would come that late at night."
"I don't remember much past that point, because the last thing I remember is waking up in the middle of a police station with a horrible stinging sensation in my face. I must have been sprayed by a skunk! I was just lucky that the nice woman managed to phone a police car. They must have been faster than the ambulance. Good thing too that they let me stay the night for so cheap; only 300 quid! Though they did say that I need to show up in court later to settle the matter."
"Anyway, the officer that let me out gave me the doe eyes, and I tried being friendly. Turns out she was married, and didn't really respond in a kind manner. Hey, it's your cheating heart, sister, not mine."
