  1. "I'm as tired of hearing about sexism" How do you think women feel about experiencing it?

  2. +Sasha That's not what she said. Nice straw man argument.

  3. annA48126 Then you can learn to deal with hearing about sexism.

  4. Sashabizz4 No, the context she clearly talked about is an interviewer staring at the breasts of his guest. In no modern society is that polite or acceptable.

  5. Sashabizz4 "Sure, but sexual harassment lol give me a fucking break" Because it isn't harassing her, nor is it sexual in nature? Maybe he was hungry and wanted some milk, is that what you're suggesting? "Back when I had a glorious ass women used to stare at it all the time is that also sexual harassment" And a rich person might say they've had soup plenty of times, so poor people should be fine and dandy with sustaining themselves on soup kitchens. The context matters. Would you feel fine if guys twice your size were eyeing you over like a slab of meat? Or guys with a position of power over you, in a work related setting? Don't get all whiny now, or you won't get that big promotion you need. Shut up and let them stare, and let them call you names like honeybun in front of your friends and coworkers. Why am I using big men twice your size as the demographic? Because this has to do with the knowledge that someone with physical and/or economic domination is exerting non-reciprocated sexual advances towards you.

  6. Sashabizz4 "Most of that sounds like entitled drivel that demeans real sexual harassment." Sounds like you already had your mind made up on the matter. "But as a matter of fact I've been sexually assaulted and harassed many times at work by women. But as a man I just had to get on with it and had no options to complain as I'd be laughed out of the office if I complained,,female privilege in action." Yes. That's wrong, too. Men, like women, are forced by social roles that are enforced by both genders. Men are severely disadvantaged when it comes to treatment or understanding for depression or other mental ailments, and anything to do with sexual harassment. We are supposed to bear the brunt and take it with a stiff upper lip. Our entire identity as men may otherwise questioned. Situations like you describe are awful. "rofl honeybun really?" I figure the cuter the nickname a big guy gives you, the more reason for concern. "this is feminism bottoming out on things to complain about." What about your complaining? "Looking at tits is not a sexual advance just as women staring at my ass isn't a sexual advance." Again, is it not sexual in nature? And, I'm not talking about a passing glance. That happens to everyone. Both women and men glance at other people's breasts and butts. I (and Ana) am talking about good, long stares whilst talking to that person, in a professional setting. I find it amazing that you find this as merely rude behaviour. "Sorry to break this to you but we evolved to find each other attractive and checking out the opposite sex is a natural as taking a shit or breathing." You're not breaking anything to me. That humans find each other attractive is not a relevant point in this discussion. "You're essentially advocating the humans change their very nature." I'm advocating that people should feel like they can be interviewed or otherwise spend time in a professional setting without having their primary or secondary sexual organs stared at. Whether you wish to attribute that to human nature is irrelevant, since not all natural things are good. Narcissism is part of human nature. So is xenophobia. Both are ugly as hell. "Wether you care to admit it or not many women who wear clothes to accentuate their assets want male attention. Only draw back is they also draw attention from males they're not interested in as well." Absolutely. But, if they dress conservatively, that may also results in negative reactions; from men and women. It depends on the country, profession and such. "Once again get over yourselves because if a woman is interested in you she wants you looking at her puppies but if she isn't interested you're a creepy pervert. They want to have their cake and eat it in essence." What if she wants to be interviewed on tv, in a perfectly ordinary dress?

  7. Sashabizz4 "Women want special treatment, they want the freedom to eye men up and down but don't want men to look at them unless of course they deem them attractive enough..." All women want this? If not, clarify. "double standards never sit well with especially with the situations I already outlined." You said men face unwanted sexual advances as well. So, do you want both genders to enjoy a workplace without that? Cos that would be consistent standards. You would be agreeing with me, and in all probability Ana as well. So far it seems you're the one guilty of a double standard; not these imaginary women you talk about. "Women are blind to the privileges they have in society and only see ones they don't have." Is that all women? If not, clarify. I explained one way that women are at a disadvantage, and you didn't want to see it. You referred to it as entitled drivel. You keep accusing some imaginary group of people of stuff you are committing yourself. The projection here is amazing. It's in 3D with 5.1 Surround. The rest of your post has little or no relevance to this discussion...

  10. annA48126 You plead with people to deal with it by keeping quiet. Odd that you don't stick to your own advice. "Do as I say, not as I do", eh?

  11. annA48126 "Not pleading,asking" Irrelevant. You're complaining about people who have complaints. You want them to shut up, yet you do not. That's called hypocrisy. "Both are just another way to divide the people" Demand of equal treatment shouldn't be divisive... "I'm having problems connecting to both Gmail and Youtube for some reason. I've had to borrow a friends computer for this,so if I don't get back to this,you will know why." Fair enough. Hope you get it working.

  12. annA48126 I have no problem with anything you say here. And, I agree with David.
