It's my opinion, but it's not an unstudied opinion. The difference between male-targeted and female-targeted pornography is not simply the genders of the subjects.
We aren't discussing pornography, but sexily dressed individuals. If that is what you were discussing, then I concede that too.
You can look, say hi, or just blush. it's all fine. Women don't get upset by that.
A very very select few might, but that's more about their issues that yours. I've only known one girl like that, and she was like that because she was abused and had been an underage stripper. She did it to show dominance. 99.5% of women don't mind appreciation.
It happened at the mall today. I sometimes wish I were not so shy.
It was a very short 10-15 second blush while waiting for billing. I just wanted to find the right tie and shoes to go along with my dress shirt and pants for this weeks meeting.
I love when women wear revealing clothes! Yay! More of it, I say!
And no, a revealing outfit without some other cue is not an invite for sexy time or lewd or otherwise inappropriate commentary. But, it is an invite to look and enjoy, IMO.
My wife and I have an agreement: Doesn't matter where I work up my appetite, so long as I eat at home!
Personally, I believe if you're wearing tight or revealing clothing, that you shouldn't complain when people stare at you because I believe you're making an open invitation (coming from a 21 year-old young lady). I never expose my cleavage nor do I wear anything shorter than knee-length because I know that breasts and thighs can be very lustful. Even when dressed appropriately, I still have guys that make sexual remarks (I'm not trying to sound conceited, but I do consider myself to be attractive).
I agree. I am tall and built like a stick. When I was younger and living in New York I would wear (god forbid) a skirt that went all of 1 inch above the top edge of my bony knee, and OMG Blammo! I would get soooo many stares from men, and evil death-looks from women too!! An insane bombardment of them, much more than usual. And people in the city do NOT show respect at all..if not careful you will have hands all over your body if you're not ready to move.
I can't even imagine what it would have been like to walk around half naked like these women do now. It's just bizarre to me.
Men sexually harassing women has nothing to do with the women's attractiveness.
LOL SURE. Watch who gets the attention in the streets of any big city. I guess that obese, short middle-aged women get just as much attention as models do in the summer when both wear shorts
I'm not sure if it's more on display. Its definitely in a whole lot more places, though. I am bombarded with half-naked women when I turn on tv or my laptop (facebook/instagram, etc), go out in public (I am shocked at what they wear to grocery shop in) to the pool to the gym, etc. Have you seen magazine covers lately? It used to be that I'd only see half-naked women at, say, the pool or the beach or a bar. Now they're everywhere.
Also, the fake boobs add a whole new level of putting it all out there. I know I'm going to take a lot of flak for saying this, but generally speaking, if you're very thin, you don't have big boobs so not a whole lot to show even if you're in a skimpy binkini. Now, I know maybe 3 women off the top of my head who have NOT had boob jobs. So now you have thin women with unnaturally large breasts strutting around. Yeah, that's gonna get your attention.
No...seriously? I don't buy it. You're not in L.A. and most females you know have gotten boob jobs?
I never met any.
If that's true...what does that say about the next generation of women and their values?
Yep because if Rosie O'donell wears some see through yoga pants and shows her cleavage she will get more harassment than Kate Upton wearing a T-shirt and baggy jeans.
You know what that comment is about- I've met misogynist bullies like this before. They will target a woman specifically for doing or being something out of the ordinary, and they are overcome with to tear her down. God forbid a woman shows self confidence or is genuinely attractive.
Were she ugly, he would have never noticed her enough to criticize her anyway. If she lacked confidence he would have never noticed her enough to try and crush her spirit.
In their world, women are harassed for being attractive yet we aren't allowed to be conscious of our own good looks. It's a bizarre place, Misogynyland.
Commenting just because I saw the OP mention Yoga pants and it reminded me of something.
A few years ago I did a Yoga class and was one of the few men in the group of about 25 people. (I believe there were 3 other men). I could not believe the skimpy tops and revealing yoga pants and shorts that girls would wear. Revealing tops were an issue, but skimpy bottoms were really out of control. Some of the girls wore those short shorts that rise right up to their butt and in certain positions you could basically see their panties (or in worse cases, vaginas - many women were wearing thongs or skimpy panties). Yoga pants were just as bad because so many women wore pants that were way too tight. They would bend over and you would get a perfect outline of everything.
As a single man at the time, I couldn't complain too much, but at the same time it was an uncomfortable situation to be in and I couldn't understand why these women thought the stuff they were wearing was ok.
To me it seems that women today feel that they should be able to basically show off their body in as sexy or revealing of a way possible, but somehow expect men not to stare or oogle them. It doesn't work that way. Sure men should definitely not harass, obsess, or assault some woman because she was being too "sexy" or "enticing", but when you reveal yourself like you at least have to expect some stares!
