when women "gaze" at men? not so much.

fengpi · 2017-06-23T09:02:09+00:00

So "looked-at", then.

Every day, 100% of women are raped by men's eyeballs. 100%! You don't see that number very often in science.

Drunk girls feel my abs and butt at a beach party without my consent. Society's take: "females owning their sexuality" and "fempowerment".

Me looking at a sign and a girl walks in front of it inadvertently drawing my gaze for a second. Society's take: "sexual harassment" "objectification" "end the male gaze".

they should be arrested for hate crimes.

What an irretrievably stupid article.

They placed an app on women's phones to literally remind them to "report" sexual objectification - which is obviously the dumbest method of data-collection of all-time.

Then they talk about objectification like it's unique only to females. Right. Like the trash collector, or firefighter, or soldier is never treated as an object. No, that never happens.

Or sexual objectification. Women never sexually objectify men! Never! There aren't calendars of firefighters and male model actors. Men never get objectified! It never happens! /s

Then the article talks about mental health. It hurts their mental health!! We must be careful not to look at females for their mental health!!

Never mind the male suicide rate. Never mind the vast multitudes of men leaving universities and not entering into traditional relationships. Never mind men being forced into back-breaking manual labour in which they eventually die.

No, let's forget about those things. We only need to worry how women feel!! Especially how women feel when we tell them what to feel!! That guy looking at you? No, it's not because he likes you and finds it beautiful, it's because of the patriarchy!! Aaaaahhhhh men everywhere! Patriarchy everywhere!! How dare men look at us! How dare they talk to us! How dare they coinhabit the planet with our superior gender!!

My goodness man. My goodness. The world has gone full retard. Complete full retard. Feminism has become the poster child for asinine stupidity on full unabashed display on the internet.

That's assuming men are looking at the women and thinking of sex. I look at women...sometimes it's because they're pretty, sometimes it's because they're wearing something that caught my eye and wonder if my wife would like it, sometimes I might think I now them, sometimes they're ugly and you can't stop looking at ugly for some reason...

There is a multitude of reasons and to think that every time a man looks at you they're thinking about sex shows you think to highly of yourself and you're so egocentric you're truly oblivious to the world around you. Get over yourselves...

destythebesty · 2017-06-23T07:28:41+00:00

That's absolute bullshit...

thwml · 2017-06-23T12:31:06+00:00

And how does one measure "objectification by the male gaze" exactly?

2017-06-23T14:31:21+00:00

Literally raping them with their eyes

Hirudin · 2017-06-23T14:31:34+00:00

I wonder how feminists can simultaneously believe that women are oppressed while also believing that it is entirely reasonable to demand that their "oppressors" not have the right to even gaze upon them in public.

HiredMind · 2017-06-23T15:51:07+00:00

What’s up, beautiful?

They're expanding the criteria for "objectification", too.

It used to be that "Nice tits" was objectification. Now it's when a man calls a woman beautiful.

They get pissed off when you don't notice their new hairstyle, and then get pissed off when you complement them on it.

And then they get pissed off when you call this behavior irrational.

CommanderZx2 · 2017-06-23T10:23:00+00:00

The most common form was the objectifying gaze (making up 55% of objectifying experiences).

So what you're saying is that 45% of women can turn invisible to avoid being seen by other people.

Rethgil · 2017-06-23T21:53:05+00:00

These people not only hurt men in their actions; they are eroding academia. An aim of feminism is also to tear down scientific methods, and its clear from studies like this they hope to do it bit by bit, hoping we won't notice.

A classic "define a word in a manner the respondents would not, without telling them" survey. I thought surveys done by universities had to go through ethics committees first?

Thorpolice · 2017-06-23T20:29:38+00:00

Umm... I bet when someone who looks like Brad Pitt gazes at them they don't report it. When someone who looks like me on the other hand...

fengpi · 2017-06-23T22:00:06+00:00

Wait wait- "self-objectifying" = worrying how you look to others?

Ahaahahaha! I self-objectified this morning when I got out of bed and cringed at the mirror! Is there a similar phenomenon when I worry about my breath after eating garlic? Ahaahahaha... Pathetic...

ThePigmanAgain · 2017-06-24T00:15:09+00:00

LOL! One of them is still just a student.

Actually, looks like the other one is too...

Edit. I removed the link as it could be seen as doxxing.

She also likes to refer to herself in the third person...

"I plan to examine the relationship between masculine norms, objectification, and gendered violence for her Ph.D. thesis."

But here's where it gets scary...

"I hope that this research may one day assist in developing policy and interventions for victims of gendered violence."

So, basically, this is the doing of a couple of millennial girls, not mature women.

And what happened with that old English proverb "A cat may look at a king". Is my gaze the cause for Jane's ignorance of Pythagorean Theorem?

So space out for 5 mins looking into the middle distance and sexually assault 3 feminists. Busy day.
