What if what I want to be is a person with excuses? Better yet, a person who doesn't want to have excuses but has them anyway...?
I've never felt that I am generally "looked upon as a sex thing". Of course you get the odd creep around you. There are some fucking creepy women, too. But generally, I feel like a well-respected person. Maybe the women who feel like they're seen as objects need to learn to appreciate sexual admiration and shun or outright ignore anyone who makes them feel like crap for no good reason. I've admired men sexually...does that mean I've objectified them? I think not. I'm kind of sick of women whining about this non-issue.
When I was in college there was this woman (early 20s) who would stare at me for long periods of time - and my girlfriend (now my wife) would be sitting right next to me. At first I was kind of flattered... then creeped out, and eventually kind of angry, as in, "Don't you have any manners? WTF are you looking at?" Then again when I was in seminary I had a guy do it too... so I guess I can see that one from both sides, and it's the same fucking thing.
Well exactly, creeps are creeps, and they can be of any gender creeping on any gender. It's never nice to be creeped on, but that doesn't mean all women are being objectified...it means there are some creeps out there. I suppose some of them just really fancy you and don't realise how inappropriate they're being, too.
I don't think it's only creeps who objectify women. It's a lot of people. I've had plenty of healthy, non-creepy guy friends and roommates who see many women only as sexual objects. my old roommates had women who they thoroughly respected, and then they had women who they didn't give a shit about except for the pussy. It just depends on the individuals. and of course if a woman begs for sexual attention and doesn't contribute much else it will influence how people perceive her. and then there's the creeps.
Going into a auto parts store for a part and the men there argue with u that it's not the part you need. I know more about cars then alot of men!! Or mechanics who think u don't know what ur talking about when u bring ur car in!
I love being a women. The hardest thing for me is being hit on by lots of men I have no interest in and when men stair at me like I am a sex objec.t
aside from the obvous stuff not having are opinions heard and valued is a big one, kinda proven by the fact that this thread is mostly men completely and roundly discrediting problems they have never had.
Having to keep forcing yourself to keep up the same pace as a man even though your body might be telling you to rest more (periods, pregnancy etc).
Men’s bodies need rest time also for different reasons but testosterone fucks with their thinking. The energizer bunny’s batteries run down too and need recharging.
Is it both male and females making these comments about your weight? If it's men, then they're assholes. Men should never comment on a woman's weight.
