Salaam - questions about gender separation and how men are viewed

As-salaam ‘alaykum - I grew up in a Western setting, so I have some questions about the idea of separating genders and how people describe men in that context. I understand the concept of having distinct men’s and women’s spaces. That makes sense to me. But I’ve come across descriptions of men that make them sound like uncontrollable sexual beasts, as if every man only ever sees a woman as a sexual object (pardon my bluntness, I’m trying to explain the point). The way some people talk, it’s like men can’t control themselves at all and will do something inappropriate even if they just met the woman. Coming from my background, maybe my thinking needs adjustment - I’m asking with patience and humility - but that portrayal feels kind of insulting to men. It seems to reduce men to one dimension, suggesting they have no self-restraint. I know many men who attend gatherings, socialize, or sometimes drink and still behave respectfully and won’t take advantage of women. I don’t recall hearing the same sweeping judgment about women. Can someone help me understand if this kind of blanket description is acceptable in our tradition or culture? I’m not trying to argue, just to learn and adjust my perspective where needed. JazakAllahu khair for any insight.
