Right, Ross: for instance, what about male prostitutes. (We assume you were only
thinking of female prostitutes?) (Come on, you live in the big city, you have 
to have heard about this.)

Also, why do you consider the jump from "fear" to "criminals" to make sense?  

Whatever you're trying to talk about, what I was trying to say is that not
*all* men try to generate fear with their genitalia, but *some* men do.
I wasn't putting down all men, or lumping them together.  It appears you are
accusing me of this.

I will say that the effect of these some men is far-reaching.
