We are to see here that Jesus is contrasting His view with that of the Pharisees. The Pharisees looked down on women. They were of the opinion that a man should never have any private conversation with a woman who is not his wife. They thought this to be dangerous, because women are evil seducers. According to the Pharisees, the woman is to blame for lustful thoughts and acts.
Men are but helpless victims.
Today, the pendulum has swung too far the other way. Now, women are regarded as the helpless victims and men as the sexual aggressors who cannot control their appetites. Jesus takes an entirely different stand. He, for instance, had an open conversation with the woman of Samaria. He had several female friends who served Him with their goods.
