This comment of the day was from Eve on the post Why Men Objectify Women.
“Personally, I don’t care what thoughts a strange man might be having about me. It’s none of my business. If he thinks about me in a sexual way, and it goes no further than that, it’s not a problem. It’s only when he acts on objectifying thoughts with disrespectful behavior (staring, following, crude remarks) that it becomes an issue. If he can’t respect me enough to behave with basic courtesy it is not only insulting, it’s frightening.
As for all this the soul searching and self-recrimination from men who want to be “good” is a bit silly. There is nothing wrong with finding women attractive as long as you behave decently, and most likely, you and every man seriously reading this blog already do. Don’t take criticism that’s aimed at predatory creeps and apply it to yourself.”
