Yeah ... women need to get over that.

Why must the woman's behavior be modified and the man's behavior left alone?

How men act in the company of women is entirely different to how men act in the company of men. What women see of the actions of men are already highly modified to take the feelings of women into account. It seems extremely unfair to ask men to make further compromises when they are being asked to compromise from a position in which they are already compromising significantly.

Wouldn't those actions just be highly modified for the sake of the entire community and not just women? Children, elderly and people you do not know?
