Men and women are 100% different.
(speaking in pure generalities here)
We don't have the same humor or private discourse.
When a group of men are hanging out you'll very frequently hear vulgar, sexualized, attacking jokes amongst ourselves. A women enters the group and that stops because society tells us to treat women differently.
When a group of women are hanging out, they may have those occasional jokes, but for the most part its lighter and showing more respect for each other.
Internet adds a layer of perceived privacy and protection that allows people to not hold back and essentially toss out the societal norms where men would hold back and not resort to a man-child. Thus the man-child sexualized vulgar humor quite often comes out.
Often its very funny play on words and purely harmless in nature. Something, anyone on any side of the fence should be intelligent to realize is just a harmless joke and toss it out, even if they didn't find it funny.
Then there are those that are over the top attacks or clearly demonification of a group. These are bannable and when reported, I feel are always banned.
For women in general, they see a far higher number of these crude man-child jokes as offensive BECAUSE they also receive so many more of the inappropriate advances as well as clearly offensive responses.

I think that this is very telling about the average male's perspective of women in general. The truth is that men and women are not that different. Perhaps you're basing this notions on your own life experience. But having travelled all over the world and met women of all ages/cultures/backgrounds I'm just going to say that you cannot generalize the sex of a person like that. Maybe you just need to get out of the bubble of life that you currently exist in, but there are females that enjoy the same humor (and even more vulgar than you), do not conform to societal norms, and may even be more of a 'dude' than you.
So when a female sees someone write about how a guy views a girl in this way, it's all the more reason to stay away. Because you're a bit off, for the most part.
