All the attitudes exist on a continuum, and honestly I think the conversation has brought out some fairly disturbing attitudes. There's definitely a common thread of "men can't help it, so women have to deal" that seems incredibly benign when talking about conversations/forum discussions but seems quite horrific when taken to its not-so-far-fetched logical conclusion.
