I think it's a misconception that men have little impulse control, that they have to act "aggressively" because it's "their nature." I think it's also a misconception that men are being "feminized" by today's society. I also think it's a misconception that "boys will be boys"- that they can't control their actions when it comes to sex. I think it's also a misconception that men "can't be nurturers" or raise children properly on their own. I think it's a misconception that men can't get in touch with their feelings/emotions, and it's a misconception that to do so is "unmanly." I think it's a misconception that men really "don't understand women." (We're not so different, when it comes right down to it.) I think it's a misconception that men are "better drivers", or "smarter than women", or more capable when it comes to being in positions of authority (women are just as capable of being good leaders.)
I think that it's a misconception that men can't refill ice-cube trays, or find the laundry hamper, or stop and ask for directions when their lost. LOL!

We don't think about sex every 27 seconds or whatever other phony statistic one may hear. In fact, no such study has ever been done and how one would measure such a thing is obviously problematic to anyone who has studied experimental methodology.
Edit (Studies have been done with answers like "once a month", "once a week", "once a day", or "several times a day" as answers, but measuring this down to the second would be impossible because it would require subjects to observe themselves and watching oneself to report on sexual thoughts would bias the results. If you are watching yourself throughout the day, wondering, "How often do I think about pink elephants", you're a lot more likely to have thoughts about pink elephants!)

Just as each person is as individual as can be so are Men and we shouldnt be always trying to say that all men are out of control and boys will be boys. I really hate that saying. We should be looking at behavior and curbing inappropriate actions. Its not okay if your a guy.

That they have no emotions whatsoever, call them what you will, accuse them and it will roll off like water off of a duck's back.

That we are a bunch of "mooks"
I'll explain. The "mook" is the current media stereotype of men. It suggests that we are simpletons, interested only in beer, sports, women, and our buddies.
"Jackass" and "Maxim" are perfect examples of the "mook" stereotype.
Trust me, there is alot more going on with us.
