6. It's a comment on the constant, if ridiculous, attempt from some to pathologize male sexuality.

And it's boilerplate Dworkin-Mackinnon.

What the guy is doing, and trying to be funny about, is responding to these goofy, inane subtexts- like, "how can you be pro equality if you want to have sex with the people you support equal rights for?" (uh, because they're not contradictory, for starts) ... so he's self-flagellating, or pretending to. I don't think he is honestly wracked with a "problem" of being unable to control his nasty man-horn-thoughts, the way some people can't stop smoking crack.

And he points out a fairly obvious, to many of us at least, fact; that sex and sexuality are natural, healthy, positive things, and being sexually attracted to other adults is not a form of "oppressing" them.
