people thought Bill was implying wimen were to blame for not satisfying men, which I thought strange. But I really only glanced at a lot of it so I could be mistaken. Although in remembering the segment I don't think Bill suggested that at all. In any case, the sensitive issue of common testosterone, age and isolation factors of these mass killers isn't brought up much IMO.

From what I can decipher, Bill is implying (by listing the explicit ads) it's the sexualization of our society, and the implication that everyone is getting laid. I didn't see it as demeaning to women at all. Thanks for the reply, I'm happy to kick this thread again.
