Male egos are rather untamed, I think we can generally agree with this.
I guess then what the general XY public (I love that term- by the way, Moose, "XY people") is saying is that they are mad because we are fooling them. I can definitely see how that could cause consternation...
But what gives "Joe XY public" the right to claim that we should not do something just because it impinges on his arena of girl watching? Damn, there's a better way of saying that, but I'm having trouble putting it into words...
