Instead the message, both here and on the road, is that women who cycle are there to be appreciated by men as sexual objects. Gee, what a welcoming environment!

I'm just disgusted by this excuse - that your testosterone completely intervenes in your brain functions and commands your fingers to type "Was she hot?", then click the "Post Reply" button.

You're a human friggin' being. So control yourself. The real problem is not "testosterone," it's that you don't want to be seen as potentially considering women to be, you know, fellow human beings with opinions and feelings and stuff that don't revolve around making you happy or turning you on.
