I'm straight up fed up with the argument that the only reason women feel harrassed by a man is because she is shallow and her reaction is rooted in discrimination. I broke the arguments down nicely while trying to debate with a too-far-gone-in-hell pickme on Facebook but decided it would serve a greater purpose here. The context was, a woman caught an old man (SNORE, WHAT'S NEW) taking a picture of her in public, and she called the cops. It made it to social media. This pickme was sympathising with the old man saying she didn't have to react that way and that it was misandry to assume he was taking photos of her to put on smut websites (which I AM SURE wasn't his intention AT ALL 🙄) . She added that the woman would never have reacted that way had it been a teengae girl caught filming her instead. If anyone ever dares question your boundaries when you express displeasure at having your privacy violated or men being sexually forward with you in an unwelcome way, break this down for them. First, the fact that the woman in the story never wanted or consented to the old man's attention in the first place, and he went ahead to film/photograph her anyway, is the very fucking definition of harrassment in the first place. It doesn't matter if you are Chris Evans, it doesn't matter if you are Ryan Gosling. It is 100% harrassment if you don't stop after being ignored or getting a bad reaction and continue to pester her.
Second, everybody at any point in time has the right to decide what kind of attention they want to entertain and from who. I use a non-sexual analogy of a kid of who is crying and separated from their parent in a crowded shopping mall, who stops you for help, vs the annoying evangelist (no offence to religious people) who stops you in the middle of a mall to preach. It is human to want to be more inclined to entertain the former; it is human to be more inclined to ignore the latter who is wasting your time for entirely self-serving interests, like the pervy old man. Even then, one's likelihood of entertaining you is also highly subjective to how much time they can spare, their mental state and what they are going through that day. Bottomline is scrotes aren't entitled to jackshit just cos they want it!
Lastly, please explain to us why people like the pickme in my story don't question when men treat beautiful women better and ugly women like shit (in fact, we are shamed and pressured into falling in line if we want just so much as basic human respect), but we don't want pictures of us taken by old men- a demographic statistically almost guaranteed to have nefarious intentions towards young women, to be used as spank material for one or even multiple men on the internet, and we are bloody committing a hate crime. Next time someone questions why you made a sexual harrassment report against someone who was clearly harrassing you, consider using the above three arguments to shut them up or watch them reveal their misogyny and entitlement. Better yet just block and delete.
The thing many idiots don't understand is that If you like someone's behavior, If you find him hot and don't mind the weird behavior he is displaying then it's not harassment, Harassment is being bugged to a point that you start to feel uncomfortable.
If I get hit on by a dude that I find attractive then it's not harassment because I feel flattered. But If a dude does it and I don't like him then it's harassment.
Things you find pleasant or sweet is not harassment, Same with touching, enjoying someone's touch is not assault, enjoying sex with a man is not rape.
Not enjoying other people's actions is always negative.
How hard is it for scrotes to understand that?
Unfortunately all men hear is " Well It's not rape/assault/stalking when a sexy guy does it" When you try to explain about the difference between right and wrong.
if a male can pick & choose who he wants to harass based on looks then a woman should also be able to pick & choose who she wants to be given attention by based on looks.
Die mad, scrotes.
Let's se how men would like that if the roles are reversed. By reversed I mean a woman, 4x stronger than him, 10x hornier than him, 1 x head taller than him and possibly an ugly one hitting on him.
The line is drawn at CONSENT not looks.
It's just that conventionally attractive age appropriate men are significantly more likely to receive constant because they actually have something to offer other than a feeling of disgust.
The low value uggos are bitter about it and think it's unfair. They want things to be "equal."
It's not that complicated.
Like who knew women only enjoy being flirty with men they're physically attracted to? So shocking and mind blowing.
"it's only harassment when he's ugly." translates into "There's some boundaries you need to give up to ease the burden of an ugly existence for men."
Crazy that we're discussing that "ugliness" or whatever else might be the explanation for why I want a man to leave me alone when I really don't owe an explanation at all
It's harassment after you've turned away the man and he continues his behaviour. Attractiveness has nothing to do with it
"Old men and teenage girls are the same because there's no such thing as gender differences. Men and women are the same." Bullshit.
