A poster stated that " most men keep their hands to themselves" a statement with which I agree. Another poster apparently feels the same, as she responded "Yes, plenty". You responded with the satirical question "Besides Jesus"? which indicates a rather strong disagreement with the idea that "most men keep their hands to themselves"....I found this an unusual view, and so wondered if you might be judging "most men" by yourself.
