Double standards on twitter finally getting recognised (original tweet had 31k likes)

There is a guy arguing on twitter that women being sexualized is worse cause they arent men LOL

SharedRegime · 2019-08-27T15:05:56+00:00

Holy FUCK.

Only words i can muster to this.

But yeah. I DARE a man to do this.

HarrisonMccoid · 2019-08-27T13:03:41+00:00

The problem is any woman changing in public like is never the attractive one

ExpendableOne · 2019-08-27T17:14:22+00:00

She wouldn't even have to be changing. If a man was caught taking a picture of a woman in public, just because he thought she was cute, he would be regarded as a creep and possibly lynched. The cops/security would probably be called on him and a hashtag would be started about the vile of men and the male gaze. It would be used as proof/evidence by feminists and misandric women to argue the false narrative that women are unsafe everywhere and subjugated/objectified by men.

pomegranate2012 · 2019-08-27T15:20:43+00:00

Well, she's paid for her ticket so I don't care if oggles the talent.

I just wonder for how long can people pretend it's HILARIOUS that women find men attractive.

The Full Monty was 22 years ago. How can people still find stuff like this funny?

And every 'America's Funniest Moms' TV program has the exact same bit.

‘I was walking down the street and someone came up to me. Be careful, there's a man flashing people in the subway. So, of course I started running - TOWARDS the subway!!'

Oh my god, it's the WOMAN who wants sex!

Every time women review movies, every time women comment on sports it's the exact same thing - a bunch of old hens SCREAMING with laughter at how funny they are being saying the young men are hot. I mean are they even ALLOWED to say that?? XD XD XD

NecroHexr · 2019-08-27T15:52:32+00:00

Non-issue, he is changing in public, the public are hence allowed to view. The only issue I can see is if people berate a man for doing the same thing.

2019-08-27T15:35:01+00:00

Fuckin creepy ass post wall..

YooGeOh · 2019-08-27T20:47:19+00:00

Instead of doing a literal comparison, allow for the idea that the woman has a sports bra type thing underneath, just so we can avoid devolving into a debate about the legality of female toplessness.

If she took off her tshirt with a sports bra underneath, and there was a man in the crown taking pictures, he'd be labelled a sexual predator, he'd have lost his job, hed be on the news and front pages of newspapers, and men everywhere would again have the spotlight on our collective toxicity and entitlement to womens bodies.

Whether what she is doing is fair game is neither here nor there. Neither is whether it's ok if a man were to do the same.

The point is about how the same exact act is only worthy of public outrage if it is committed by one gender, especially when said act is committed when the conversation is about acts that are apparently only committed by men against women and that women don't do such things because they inherently know better whereas men need to be taught out of their toxicity.

It's a meh 'look she's doing it too' post, but the underlying point being made should be obvious

guylostintheuniverse · 2019-08-27T15:54:05+00:00

Isn't this on public, live TV? So this guy knows exactly what he is doing?

Silencio00 · 2019-08-27T19:35:01+00:00

A man taking pictures to Maria Sharapova would look like a creepy #metoo example.

ThePigmanAgain · 2019-08-27T22:54:12+00:00

Meh, if you don't want to be photographed, don't take your tits out in front of a crowd of hundreds. Of course, if it was a woman, even one wearing a sports bra, and the blonde was a man, there would be hell to pay.

kellykebab · 2019-08-27T23:05:58+00:00

Uh. I'm 100% okay with either gender doing this to either gender. The guy is a public person who is already getting filmed lol. What's the difference between an international broadcast and someone's phone video?

It's like getting mad at someone for taking a photo of their own TV screen.

2019-08-27T23:51:53+00:00

Did anyone else stare at the dude folding his shirt for like 3 minutes before realizing that the post is about the woman

fauxVision · 2019-08-28T00:35:46+00:00

If only women would start changing their tops more often in public

lporiginalg · 2019-08-27T15:28:00+00:00

eh, reminds me of the goober video and I stand with the recorded in both cases. What you do in public is fair game.

Lion_amongst_gods · 2019-08-27T16:09:10+00:00

I think this is where the argument falls apart. Men and women are different. We say that to feminists.

The reality is, I don’t care if a woman looks at me taking my shirt off. I don’t think this guy does either. Some women may be sensitive. That’s ok. They are the weaker sex. Men are stronger and a woman looking at a dude taking his shirt off isn’t harassment. If a woman gets sensitive about a guy staring at her then whatever.

So many good things to focus on, divorce courts, family law, income inequality. This is not one of them

JudDredd · 2019-08-27T19:33:04+00:00

Double standards aren’t ok so why does this one exist? Part of it is that women’s sexuality/desire has only recently been permitted and acknowledged so lots of acts of overt sexuality are seen as empowering or progressive. Men’s desire has been the opposite. I suppose time and conversations like this will ultimately create new norms that aren’t so dependent on gender. The real question is, all things being equal, what is the right thing to do? Is it ok to take a PG photo of a celebrity or sports person changing clothes? Probably depends on the implied consent of the sports person and in the case where someone is changing in public then I would say consent is usually implied.

The only example I can think of with genders reversed was the Joe Rogan ogling Rhonda Rousey at a weigh in video. Mostly he was seen as tacky but also human? I dunno. Thanks

Edit. Another reason why this double standard exists is that there is an assumption that, as a man, it’s more likely that he is happy to be sexualised and that more men in general would appreciate being desired. It’s easier to assume that this sports man would be consenting than it would be for a sports woman doing the same thing. That probably also needs further unpacking.

huxepenner · 2019-08-27T18:17:01+00:00

Men who do that to women getting changed would find themselves on certain register.

Yuo_cna_Raed_Tihs · 2019-08-27T19:25:25+00:00

The argument being made isn't that this woman is a meanie, but that if a guy did this, he would be considered a meanie. Neither should be seen as meanies

Swinship · 2019-08-27T20:24:18+00:00

is this a double standard though? a female wouldn't be allowed to change in public like this. (Exposing her bare chest) or is this a double,double standard?

Ransal · 2019-08-27T19:48:30+00:00

to be fair, if she was doing it in public...

PorkSwordintheStone · 2019-08-27T19:53:47+00:00

Andy Murray's mom is so creepy about this dude (Feliciano Lopez). She calls him Deliciano.

Boogedyboogedyshoo · 2019-08-27T20:56:48+00:00

This guy is doing this on national tv, he knows what he's doing.

Sam_Pk3r · 2019-08-27T21:02:55+00:00

Well most men dont give a shit

butt_mucher · 2019-08-27T21:09:42+00:00

This is stupid. If someone is exposing themselves in public you can film it, but I presume it wouldn't get as many likes if the genders are reversed. However I find it a counterproductive, because this is a right everyone should have filming in public so I don't get how getting mad at women for doing makes any sense

Rad0555 · 2019-08-27T21:42:34+00:00

Well if your changing in public and you have a nice body you shouldn't have to be subject to someone filming or taking pictures of you but also don't be surprised when someone does. If it was in a locker room or somewhere more private I think there would be a bigger deal.

gsfgold · 2019-08-28T01:10:20+00:00

I feel bad for the woman being turned into a spectacle. She’s probably not even sexist or a feminist but simply admired what beheld her eyes

2019-08-28T01:43:24+00:00

The other blonde has my energy

shadowguyver · 2019-08-28T03:29:13+00:00

Still being done without permission regardless. It's still wrong.

2019-08-27T15:48:44+00:00

Legal action should be taken on this.

DragoniZilan · 2019-08-27T16:12:58+00:00

All tho he was getting recorded, this is still wrong

TheHawk71 · 2019-08-27T18:21:23+00:00

There is NO expectation of privacy in a public setting. Yes, people would piss and moan if some woman was videoed or photographed in the same manner (even if she were wearing a bra) but it’s perfectly fine to photograph people in public. That’s U.S. law, not sure about other nations laws.

SoberingAstro · 2019-08-27T18:39:42+00:00

If a woman was changing shirts in front of a crowd, how many men wouldnt have a cell phone out? Fair game.

Ballatoilet · 2019-08-27T19:30:10+00:00

Hes really Hot

RadicalMatriarchy · 2019-08-28T04:34:50+00:00

The double standard is that women are "not allowed" to change their t-shirt in public while men can.

women's breasts are medically, scientifically the same as men's: a secondary sex characteristic

i bet the woman is taking a pic him and texting it to her friend saying #maleprivilege

EdziePro · 2019-08-27T18:04:10+00:00

If that woman is "all of you" you're fucked up and deranged!

orangeLILpumpkin · 2019-08-27T15:24:13+00:00

Will you Lot have the same energy?

wut?
