... that on his Podcasts, Dan Savage has had a few parents of newly out gay men, and has repeatedly been saying (paraphrased) "we tend to be more protective of our daughters because we know men are assholes. Now your son is your daughter, you need to be that protective of him, too, because there are men out there who will try to exploit him."

My tendancy, on the other hand, is to feel like anyone can be exploitative. I certainly knew girls who were and boys who were really great guys, although yes, there do seem to be more men in the "asshole" bracket.
