Sharing a Blog article

I'm not much into reposting other people's blog articles but this one i think hits a bit close to home. http://www.relevantmagazine.com/life/relationship/features/28856-beauty-vs-sexuality I think the gold nugget here is the following:
To put it another way, we shame men by insisting they're fundamentally weak, constantly vulnerable to being overwhelmed by sexual impulses. We shame women for not being better stewards of that supposed weakness. That shame doesn't just lead to unhealthy sexual relationships (including between husbands and wives); it leaves too many men feeling like potential predators and too many women feeling as if they're vain, shallow temptresses.
  I personally struggle with this idea and also know others on the male and female side and its something to consider. This isnt a license for men to gawk or woman to dress like a tempress, but an opportunity for those to engage in an open and honest dialogue. just my two cents.
