You know, he's right about the erections part. But he shouldn't blame women for that. :-p

It's possible, of course.

But it's these comments that some denominations still cling to (I've noticed hard core southern baptists are the worst) and that bothers me. I mean, they don't cling to them entirely, but there are entire cults of girls, like those that cling to the Barlow Girl phenomenon, that think it's THEIR fault. So, they have to change how they act etc as to not tempt women because of course it's the woman's fault.

That bothers me.
