This comment was by Eric Dietz in reference to the post – The Danger is Demonizing Male Sexuality
Thank you for writing this. For most of my life I did not see myself as desirable, and the things you say about thinking I need to trick a female into being attracted to me ring very true. In the last few years, I have been complimented and told that I am, actually, desirable. It really surprised me at first, because I didn’t really see myself as such. I do what I can to be an ally, including calling other men on their bullshit. I look forward to living in the kind of society where women don’t have to be afraid of men, and that men don’t have to pressure (or assault) women.
