Again, my issue is with the stereotyping of men, and the wide strokes that are used to paint us all as potential predators.

Kind of reminds me of all the ignorant hate for Muslims as if they are all Islamic Extremists. There are bad people, some of them happen to be men, some follow this religion or that religion, some are republicans, democrats, liberals, conservatives, etc. It really isn't right to prejudice or stereotype any kind of demographic just because a small portion of said demographic are terrible human beings.
If a woman wants me to cut her hair with a man's style, I'll do it, if she is a jerk, I won't. If I want to go to Spa Lady, I expect them to let me in, if I'm a jerk, they should boot me out. We should all treat each-other as individuals and not as a part of a demographic and deal with the bad people with extreme measures.
EDIT: Your post also got me thinking of how many men are being sexually assaulted by women, especially women in a position of authority and trust, and refuse to say anything about it because they should want to have women do things to them. Kind of like Charlie Day on Horrible Bosses with Jennifer Aniston. It's a huge joke because she is attractive and he should want her to want that. Can't imagine a woman getting raped and people laughing at her and telling her she should want it because the guy is handsome. I understand that it's not balanced, I just think every man should be looked at as a predator and every woman as the prey.
