These types of men think they are superior to women, but lack the self control to be around a scantily clad woman.

"Men fear women will laugh at them. Women fear men will kill them." ~Margaret Atwood

Here's a really great interview with Gloria Steinem. It's dated - on a page for a PBS special about violence against women back in the 90s, but worth the read.
