I would basically agree with Isaac. It's a woman who is turned on by a particular breed of 'masculinity'- the assertive type- but also afraid of it when it expresses itself in the way it was threatening to do- through violence.
It's a major issue in relationships between men and women: how much assertiveness do women want, and how much aggressiveness are they going to put up with, and where's the balance?

Rob's post is genuine.
Blank canvases are a pain in the arse.
A blank post that gets people criticizing is a laugh.
A contemptuous comment criticizing comments in general is commendably pardoxical
