I can also fully understand men getting upset over the implication.

The implication that their unknown behavior makes them potentially dangerous gets them upset to the point that they lash out and show exactly that their unknown behavior is, in fact, dangerous? No, I don't understand it, and I understand it proves that the question is right. If this makes someone upset, that person is the danger. It is not divisive because it has always been true for everyone who is subject to it, what makes you upset is that it is being pointed out and explained to you why it has always been bad and why this divide has always been there while you pretended that it didn't exist. I don't get upset when someone points out the existence of a problem that I already knew was there. Hell, even if I didn't know it was there, my reaction is oh shit is that an issue what can we do about this, not how dare you show this to me.
