Do muslims regard male sexual urges as uncontrollable?
again, not trying to be offensive, just trying to understand and work out the logic here
In my last question I asked if the headscarf is meant to protect women from the advances of men, why don't men just stop harassing?

A few people responded that it was unreasonable for men (but not women) to control their sexual urges. I am curious as to what to muslims is different about sexual urges from other natural human urges that makes them different? You might have the urge to rob a bank, but you are legally obligated to control that urge. You might have the urge to hit someone when they make you mad, but you control yourself. Why are sexual urges with women any different?
Update:Then why do muslims regard it as "realistic" to control other human urges, but not sexual urges? Of course it's "realistic" to require you to control your urge to murder or steal, but not to rape? Logic failure.

Try taking testosterone for a while and see how it makes you feel.
But no, male sexual urges are not uncontrollable. People are responsible for their own behavior. A woman being attractive, scantily clad, or even buck naked and covered in whipped cream is not an excuse to commit a sexual crime. Making women cover themselves is misogyny, pure and simple.
Even if there are differences in urges, Behavioral markers are only indicators of what is, not what ought to be. Ignoring that behavior can and often does simply indicate cultural mores and not nature at all, "natural" does not necessarily mean moral. Treatment under the law should be equal.
Nothing in the Koran forces women to wear a headscarf or a burqua...it's just some people's interpretation . but I reapeat no passage or clear instructions in the quoran, instruct women to cover their head. the only sourat they will refer to when addressing this issue is sourate "nour" witch doesn't clearlly say to cover the hair..
It seems so. There was a response from a Muslim woman here a while ago about how her daughter would never get raped because her daughter dresses properly and covers up. Sick, sick mindset they have. They also blame women who get raped.
o_O Holy crap, Sunday Lunch.
I dunno,..but GaGA your avatar gives me an uncontrollable sexual urge
sex crimes committed by male are much more than female. is not it that simple.
There is clear observable difference between sexual behavior and attitude of men and women and our social setup and law should acknowledge these differences. These differences are common to all nationality and culture and inherent in our nature.
Any law that does not acknowledge these natural differences is wrong and illogical.
"it was unreasonable for men (but not women) to control their sexual urges."
Not unreasonable, but *unrealistic* for ALL people to control their urges. There is a subtle difference that you apparently didn't pick up on.
I sure hope so.
OK
