Sexuality: Hormones are no excuse for abuse

Re: “Biology lessons for the #metoo generation,” (TNT letter, 10/12).

Biology explains hunger, too. But I don’t reach over and eat the hamburger off some other person’s plate.

And if someone offered me some of their fries and then asked me to stop eating all of them, I would.

I am not a wild animal; I am socialized and understand consent and permission.

I don’t think it’s too much to expect people to follow etiquette rules when it comes to physical interactions, too.
