But as to not understanding why others have a problem, do you really not?
Yes and no. I certainly understand that others do have a problem with it. But as to understanding why, there's this: I live in the same historical reality, in the same society, in the same culture, and I don't have a problem with it. So, let me ask you (seriously, not as some rhetorical dodge): do you understand why I don't have a problem with it? My only explanation is different genes, different stories, different views of the world--we are all different.
I do take your point about women being capable of sexual violence.
