Does this excuse grown men staring at young teenage girls too?

5 awards and nearly 4,000 upvotes. Jesus Christ. Reddit really is overrun by men.

The phrase "men are very visual creatures" is like nails on a chalkboard at this point. It comes up in every fucking argument when men aren't behaving. Way to take some personal responsibility.

Ok, as a bisexual woman, it is my time to shine.

There are things called respect and control. If my female coworker is wearing “something thight and bend over” I wont look. Not because I don’t want to. But because in a workplace, it is completely inapropriate and wrong. Also, she didnt wear this or bended over for my enjoyment- that’s how men justify their deprived behaviour “but she wore something thight” - she didnt wear if for unecessary sexual attention from you, scrote!!

Imagine going to yoga and staring at women’s asses because “you can’t help yourself”. That is bullshit, let me tell you that. They just want to normalize unecessary sexualization of women, so they are not judged for it.

Women are also visual creatures. Ugly men should not complain when women refuse to look at them. If they want to be looked at hey can go put effort in looking better. Goes both ways buddy.

Such male privilege not to consider for one second that staring isn't just unpleasant but is actually scary BECAUSE of all the men who don't control themselves in other ways. If you can prevent someone (who in all likelihood has experienced sexual assault) from fearing for her own safety, just by averting your gaze for a second, why wouldn't you?

And yet lesbians in locker rooms with actual naked women walking around manage to not stare.

Weird how that works.

I have some revelatory news for this guy. All humans are visual creatures because we have eyes and we use them to see things. Crazy stuff!

Also, you can check someone out subtly and not make a big deal of it. No need to say anything, keep your creepy thoughts to yourself and remember that women do not exist for your viewing pleasure.

"Strut out of a room in your leggings" ... you mean like when I throw on plain black leggings because they're comfy and walk out of my room it's actually for your viewing pleasure? Ugh I didn't know, I'm such a sly little minx sometimes.

TIL I am only safe in the street (most of the time) because a lot of men have self-control and are able to restrain their desire to physically accost me and only leer instead.

What a guy.

Then can he explain why I have been catcalled and harassed in the middle of winter when not a single curve or contour of my body is visible??? When are they going to stop pretending it isn’t how it really is: men wanting to humiliate and embarrass us. NOTHING to do with being ViSuAL creatures

Ugh this makes me feel sick, and trust me its not just 'tight revealing clothing,' they sexualize all women and girls of any age in any attire.

2020-09-15T20:38:31+00:00

I'm a lesbian but I'm not gonna be a creep either.

But I guess that's cause I'm A wOmAn and not a "visual creature".

I had a status about this the other day! I worked near several schools and the boys and girls would go running in front of my building, through an busy intersection. I saw FIVE separate accidents caused by men craning their neck and multiple other red lights being ran by men who were staring at the MIDDLE SCHOOL GIRLS.

I made sure I went out and told the officers what happened and I showed the video from surveillance 😂
