it really is insulting when I walk down the street (being 6.2', 200 lbs, and having a big beard) and a few women stare at me like I'm going to jump out of my clothes and do something awful to them. I hate modern day feminism its not about equality of the sex's its about women being afraid of the "dogs". and demand special treatment, why? because they have ovaries.
Okay, first off, almost no women think that all men are rapists. Those that do are damaged, most likely by the act. So let's please dispense with that ridiculous claim, okay?
Second, depending on what statistics you use, about one in six to one in four women will be raped sometime in their lifetime. Know ten women? Odds are, one of them has been raped. And this doesn't even account for ATTEMPTED rape.
If you had to live with those statistics, I'm guessing you wouldn't like walking alone at night, either, and would probably take some common-sense precautions, too.
Educate yourself.
And here I was, thinking the thread had become civil once semaphore left. Only new people came.

that's the thing, i can't even check a woman out just looking at how pretty, or good looking they are, without having this idea in the back of my mind that they think that the fact i find them appealing that instantly means= I'm gonna rape ya. iv'e seen videos of feminazis that take it as an insult to be asked to have a cup of coffee.
I always got the sense from talking to my female friends that they don't mind a quick glance, and even find it flattering. It's the guys that stare or leer that bother them. Often when I check a girl out and she catches me, she smiles at me. I guess you'd never see that happen though, if you never look at the girl's face.
'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes
All lookouts clapped on Paradise
All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
well, it's mostly referenced as "i'm too much of a pussy to get a girl", but when you look at your ultimate goal with a female and it's to get in her pants, friend zoning is very real. It means that you will never, ever hit that. and if you do, all the years of tormenting yourself over the wait wouldn't be worth it.
Some guys have trouble with rejection, and understanding that a woman does not feel very attractive when she is with a guy that believes she is the only woman he could ever be with. She enjoys entertaining the idea that he could be with other women, but instead chooses to be with her. I mean, that kind of relationship is kind of like beating a dead horse. Maybe some people like poking and brutalizing horse corpses, but I think many of us could agree it would be a lot more exciting if they shot a horse in the ass with a nailgun and got kicked.
essentially, "friendzone" is another way to say that "the pursuit of gobbling her meatcurtains is now a waste of time and effort" in it's truest form
though, i think that is largely irrelevant to the topic at hand.
What do you do if a guy winks at you, in a real eerie, but charming kind of Anthony Hopkins Hannibal Lecter kind of way?again thats not what I am saying. im not saying raping me at all- but that look? Its often creepy. We can see you- is what I am trying to get across.
To be fair, if you're wearing a low-cut top and a short skirt, you're basically saying "check out my bazongas and legs". If you don't want men to check them out, don't dress to attract that kind of attention.
Some women will say they dress that way to "feel pretty", for their self-esteem. But it's the same thing. You feel pretty for the same reasons men look. You feel attractive, like you're desirable. Men are looking because they see you as desirable. You can't have one without the other.
That doesn't mean men should be leering or staring, or making catcalls or unwarranted comments, nor is dressing in any way an invitation of any kind. And sure, some men will leer, even if you're wearing a sweater and loose jeans. But I've seen a lot of women get offended when they were clearly asking for attention with how they were dressed. Their offense was because they advertised to everyone, when they wanted a more select reaction. That's not the men's fault.
Yes, certain circumstances I would agree. It is flattering- but its the creepy stares and winks..and Ill buy that for you...its just too much.
I understand I am being contradictory but you only talked to me because of my body and my face not because of the words that I spoke. It being the initial reason you talked to me " wow she is really pretty' okay okay. Some gents game is baaaddd and they come off very creepy. Why would I want to talk to you if you offer to buy me things- you dont know me...
I might be misunderstood, but.
I do understand some of the concerns* but when this type of stuff happens

I'm just going "yeah ok then. Thats too much now."
*Since I live in country where stuff like this is somewhat rare and its bit more safer(?) to walk around at night I cannot say I'm really expert on stuff like this.
I just cant understand whole "All white males contribute to rape-culture because they are white and males" argument (which btw is either extreme trolling because there are never really facts about this subject other than "fancy image with text").
Yeah some advertisers, movie makers or law-makers are "white and male" but does it mean I'm supporting them and I should be penalized until this changes?
Thats really how I think, but I'm going to be interested on possible replies and knowledge on the issues. It just feels like poking beehive every time
I agree completely. If you are showing off your goods expect to get the attention you are asking for.
Edit: now not all woman who dress like this are asking for attention. This is more of a personal statement for me. If a woman dresses provocatively she should understand that she will increase her desirability with her male counter part- possibly.
