In a comment to a post we ran yesterday, reader Phantom recounts an old joke that contains incredible insight into the double standards men find themselves up against in the "battle of the sexes":
"When a woman gets undressed with the curtains open and a man sees her, he is a peeping tom.
"When a man gets undressed with the curtains open and a woman sees him, he is charged with indecent exposure."
It is a simple double standard: in any sexual encounter - blame the man (or the boy).

It reminds me of a 'Dave Berg' cartoon I read in MAD Magazine a long time ago.
A woman is standing in her living room with a police officer and, pointing our her window, says to him, "See that man in that house over there, officer? He was getting undressed in front of his apartment window!" The officer looks out her window himself, and after a moment says, "Lady, I don't see any man out there - in fact, all I see is that building a couple blocks away."
The woman says, "Well, of course you don't see him - you're not using these binoculars!!"
I laughed at it back then, but I guess it's not so funny these days. In fact, this is one reason I don't like to have women for roommates (I am single and typically rent rooms) - what if I accidentally left my bedroom door open a crack, or accidentally opened the bathroom door in just my shorts, thinking she was not home. In fact the girl who is my upstairs roommate right now is so squemish, she'd probably have a sh**-fit and call the police if she saw me in my underwear.
The beginning of the above post should of course say, "pointing out her window"
As I have stated before Norm, You are very astute. Of course if your upstairs neighbor wasn't so squeemish, she would probably ask to have sex with you then, call the police and report it as rape.
I guess these women never saw "Risky Business."
Gee, imagine if she'd see Norm's dick. She'd probably have a heart attack.
Is her field of vision that wide?
