It's only creepy when men masturbate in public, when women do it, it's hot. Still think reddit is misogynist? Looks like the sword cuts both ways.

It has always amazed me how the appreciation in western society for the female body and sexuality is, at best, completely under-appreciated and, at worst, presented as perversion and malignancy(mostly for heterosexual men though as this doesn't seem to be an issue for lesbian women). What's even more unbelievable is that this appreciation persists even as the male sexuality seems to be completely demonized by western society(men walking around naked in his own home getting arrested, for example).

Everyone asking if she was hot, I will guarantee you, were men. Notice how it's only creepy behaviour if the girl wasn't attractive. I don't think you're fighting the right mission, here.

Oh no, see, this will still be submitted to LadyBashing, because judging a woman differently because of her sexuality is always derogatory towards womankind as a whole.

Double-standards are rampant in the Great Gender War. My dick is my sword, and my copy of Road House is worn the fuck out.

Men who fuck all the time are studs. Women who fuck all the time are sluts.

Men can be easy; they're lucky. Women can be easy, too, but they're just sluts.

Men can rape hella women, it's like point-and-click. Women cannot easily rape a man, it's like hog-tying a living futon.

Women can get tanked, do stupid shit, and always fall back on drunken amnesia to explain their indiscretions. A man does the same thing, and it's no excuse, you pig!

I don't completely believe in all of this. I've met many exceptions to the rule from both sides of the fence. It's really no different from any other stereotype. It doesn't apply to everyone, but you still see it everywhere.

Isn't a group that's almost surely mostly male that finds the thought of a woman masturbating in public to be hot something which would typically irk feminists, and which they would claim to be misogynistic? Or am I missing something?

I propose that the primary reason men masturbating is creepy is because many men don't masturbate in a sexy way. Many men masturbate in the same way they scrub themselves clean in the shower, or the way they brush their teeth - that is, vigorously and with the appearance of "just getting it over with". If men masturbated more s l o w l y and deliberately, it might not be considered quite as creepy.

Then again...

This situation is obviously the fault of the patriarchy.
