No, (1) I phrased it as "some men feel," and (2) women are somewhat to blame because they are human and screw up once and a while.

As for "weaponization of sex," that's an ongoing artifact of screwed up attitudes around, well, screwing. Too often, men are prone toward inflicting physical violence. Women have traditionally used the granting and withholding of sex as a tactic to influence men, but that should come as no surprise. Men have created a world where women are held at a social, political, and financial disadvantage. Sex has always been the one thing that women have that men want.

Guys, I have no interest in listening to you whine that women are manipulating you with the one weapon they've had. In an egalitarian world, you'd be right, it would be a-hole behavior. That's not what we have.

Personally, the Internets make me sad. It would be nice to just switch it off and pretend everything is fine, but the truth is what it is and avoiding it is not an option. It does mean that most days I think a sizable percentage of men should be castrated without anesthesia and dropped in shark infested waters.
