I'm amazed by so many comments that find this article controversial. The article simply points out a rule of basic decency. I don't see a political motivation here so much as I see a desire for a world that is more respectful to women. My mom taught me that already and I behave like real man. Most of us do. It is only the sleazy politicians in the news that haven't learned it. If I have any disagreement with the article, it would be that it tends to suggest that it is "maleness" that creates this behavior. That is a slightly sexist opinion. Vulgarity isn't gender specific. Don't label all men pigs, just the ones that are.
