Two video classics about double standards around how men and women look at, and approach each other.

Amazing Atheist ('It's only sexist when men do it') is some kind of LWMA avant la lettre, but unfortunately not active anymore.

Lauren Chen ('Feminism VS Male Sexuality') lately identifies herself more as a conservative woman, but is spot on in this video.

What amazes me most is not even how people can have these double standards and not even notice that themselves. Even more surprising is that some women really believe men just do these things to degrade and oppress women, while they themselves do the same things with men and (rightly so) feel that is because of some natural drive and not out of disrespect.

Well, should we demand from women the same modesty and careful behavior as is demanded from men nowadays? I'd rather think that, with some exceptions constituting real rude behavior, we'd better conclude there is nothing wrong with a drive that both sexes apparently like to express towards each other, and grant everybody more freedom.

I eo believe that female sexuality and male objectification is a big issue for men.

Women objectify, sexualize and feel entitled to men's body more than the reverse. Because women are encouraged to do so and never get punished. There is a trend that I noticed, the "Objectiying men is good" trend along with the domonization of male sexuality anf glorification of female sexuality. This trend is mostly pushed by feminists in the name of female sexual liberation. But what happens when men get objectified ? Male sexual workers are ones at the front of this trend:

Male strippers called "Your Piece Of Meat" by their company

"One girl attempted to put her finger up my butthole [...] It’s like they think they can do anything they want." - Male stripper

"she dug her claws into my penis and tried to walk me round the floor like a dog" - male stripper

"ended the show with a flag around me when the bride-to-be tried to perform a lewd act on me in front of her mum"

Male Stripper and Double standards

banning female strip shows but allowing male strip shows

"I have often not been paid by female clients, and when I have protested, they have threatened me with telling the police that I tried to rape them." - male prostitute

Male topless, nude waiters/strippers/prostitutes are not protected or helped by policies. The clubs and agencies where you can hire them don't have "no touch rules" nor do they have "if you disrecpect him, he can leave" policy. I presume that there is a high percentage of these female customers who are feminists going to see male sexual workers for "female liberation" and "rebelling against patriarchy". The same kind of feminist who will release hell on a man for saying sometime slightly sexual to a female stripper.
