Our thousands of years of culture has tried to put a layer of respectable behavior on top of these base, reptile-brain reactions, and sometimes we succeed at doing this. But to be offended by such a reaction is like being angry at the river for only flowing one way. Paddle against the stream if you must, but know that it'll be a hard time, and the river isn't going to change paths, no matter how you rage at it.
