text: Unlike the author of this article I have not spent a lot of time in locker rooms.  I have spent considerable time around men, however, and I have never heard a man speak in this way, bragging about "abusive" contacts with women.  I have never spent any time in a jail, although my guess is that among murderers, rapists and simple thieves you might hear this kind of talk.  I guess that is a simple distinction between "locker-room talk" and "jailhouse talk."
