I get that you don't like people mean stuff about women (or nice stuff about men), but don't act like this doesn't happen.

It's also very likely that I over-perceive this due to my own issues.
Re: Unpopular Opinions Thread
I mean, sometimes or often guys *are* being creepy, the way they phrase it is douchey and over-entitled and they come off as acting like that woman is just brainless fuckmeat who they *deserve* by dint of having a dick. And there are a lot of spaces on the net where this sort of talk goes on, and there's the sense that it's just the proper order of things, because it reflects a prevailing idea about men's sexuality vs women's.
Whereas this is rarely (but sometimes) true for women ogling dudes. It tends to be more self-consciously "naughty", because it's considered slutty/dirtybadwrong in wider social context, not a badge of gender pride/prowess.
But most people find someone hot and wanna drool over them and say dat ass! and what's wrong with that? Men who aren't being creepy about finding women hot should be encouraged! I guess I've come across that pushback myself, because I like to ogle women, and some women are all like, ew, objectification!

(Anonymous) 2015-09-28 12:09 am (UTC)(link)I think maybe where it falls down is that I think it's incredibly tricky to find a way to express attraction to women that won't be considered creepy (in this specific subset of the Internet). I don't see a way to do that. Now, again, this is something that I have issues with & maybe I'm just writing my own problems onto the broader internet. But it seems to me, maybe, that's where the structure you're talking about does not quite extend. And that's pretty much all I mean.

In terms of culture online, there are a lot of creepy men, which is why when a guy in a women-majority type online space says he finds a woman hot, he often doesn't get given the benefit of the doubt. None of that contradicts the fact that there are some fucking creepy-ass women out there though they are ~usually not so mind-bogglingly entitled as to commit date rape irl. Schrodinger's Rapist alarm bells don't go off as much for them.
