I'm just saying

It's interesting that both on TV and in much of the world around us, guys are allowed to check out other women and be attracted to them because they're "wired that way." Not so for the fairer sex. When women act like this, it's seen as deliberate and intentional. Is it my imagination? Random, I know. I'm just saying ...

I think it depends how it's done. Sometimes, being seen more as a joke, women's lusts are easier to get away with. As long as it's not totally overt. But then, am I just saying it's easier to hide lust as a woman?

You tell us, Ms. Lane. Are we wired that way?

That's a good point, ibid. It's gross when guys order a stripper for a bachelor party, but silly when girls do it as a bachelorette gag. So there's definitely two sides to the coin: Girls can more easily get away with typically "lustful" activities. But once there's any deeper attraction (past the animal instinct) or flirtation, girls are floozies and "boys will be boys."
