It was a joke and I didn't mean to start a fire here.

With far less catchy lyrics, I might add.

(Cough)
Due to wording, this post reads differently than you probably intended.

It certainly didn't read that way.

Interesting take; I know you're in Texas. The last time I was in Mexico was in the 70s.
I still have unpleasant stereotypes of early 2000s drug cartel victims hung from overpasses in my mind just based on readings and media exposure.
Edit: Second sentence is worded sloppily.

Female sexuality is fundamentally stupid and evil in a way that male sexuality simply isn't.
This kind of comment reminds me oddly of feminist arguments that men are evil because they're, well, men. And I suspect that to some degree a statement such as this is borne of years of exposure to precisely such arguments (though I'm speculating.)
I'm more sympathetic to railing against individual women than against the entirety of the dance. At the risk of breaking into parody, you have a choice: Accept the dispassionate world as it is and deal with it as best you can, or complain incessantly against the unfairness of it all.
To some extent the railing against female sexuality in the western world is done by the very people who suggest that the asexual/androgynous model, where we eschew our roles and meet in some vague middle and ignore the elephant of sexual differences in the room, is equally unpalatable and goes against nature, or whatever.
It doesn't have to be one way or the other. We've created the current monsters of dating apps and optimizing romance (or sex, if you prefer). This model will then fail to the degree that it is unsustainable, leaving the bodies of a lot of lonely hearts, newly minted lesbians, or angry incels in its wake. Or it will transmogrify into something worse. I think, however, that as reassuring as it may be to lay it all on women, it is not particularly helpful.

Walk around a sorority house and you’ll find lots of girls who have physiques similar to Brie Larson or Scarlett Johansson
True. Find those same girls ten (or fewer) years later and they will all have physiques similar to pre-semaglutide Melissa McCarthy. The frat guys may or may not have gained beerguts.

Once and it caused stomach upset for some reason. About a clove.
I generally read past this kind of internet abbreviation unless something in the post is particularly compelling. In this case I looked up the actress first, the acronym later, and didn't see the connection. On reflection, it's a stupider issue than I imagined, and not the kind of thing I typically discuss or care to engage in. That probably sounds arrogant but we all have our lines.
