for all the men pissed off by this, if you did more to dismantle rape culture amongst yourself and your friends you wouldn’t be confronted by stuff like this so often and you also likely wouldn’t take so much offense, just some food for thought if it weren’t such a big and harmful issue, women wouldn’t be screaming from the rooftops all the time
People are free to present themselves however they want. Presentation communicates intent and values. Others will interpret those signals. Interpretation is not entitlement. And a signal does not define a person’s total worth or character. Does that mean you should do it? No, but who gives a shit. If I kick a rock down a mountain I should be aware that an avalanche may occur. Same premise here. Dress immodestly….im gonna get ogled at
As a woman who works at a golf course, the things I hear the men say about women (even married men) is repulsive and it’s always “okay” because she wasn’t interested, she had a bf, she gave a look that “lead him on”, she left early than when he wanted, it goes on. I’m not saying it’s every man that golfs at my job but it’s about 30% of them who openly talk sickening things about women and some have even said “I should’ve raped her”
also as a woman, i didnt initially get how it was assumed that it was a man making the comment but im guessing that you said that because its in the "ask men" community or whatever (which makes sense). i dont think its "fair" but i think its reasonable to assume that to some extent is it somehow better if a woman "made" it (im assuming you meant "thought it" or something along those lines)? No, absolutely not. whatever the case is, who's doing the shaming, slut shaming generally isnt good-
it hurts women either way, and thats bad. from what i know and my lived experience, when men slut-shame women or call them slutty, it's because they find the outfit hard to look away from or see the girl in a sexual light, no matter what shes wearing. However, when i see women slut-shame women, it's usually to compare them to themselves because of internalized misogyny or other factors that theyve had to live through, so its kind of a way to deflect that trauma that comes with being a woman-
obviously thats not true for everyone, thats just my experience with it and everything sees things differently and goes through different things. even with men, its unfortunate but sometimes theyre taught that slut-shaming is just another thing thats OK to do, whether they believe their words or not
Do you not get how men’s clothes and women’s clothes are fundamentally different? We all know what dressing like a slut is. You know if you’re dressed like one before you ever leave to go out. If you’re fine with it, cool. But you can’t be pissed off about it if other people judge it a certain way. Basically, if you don’t want people looking at it, don’t put it on your front porch.
I wouldn’t give much stock into this tbh dude. Op is delusional. A slut is gonna slut. A modest person is gonna be modest. End of story call it how you see it and move on. The original image is meant to shame anyone who thinks someone else is being inconsiderate with their wardrobe choices and does not invite discussion on the matter. And quite frankly….who gives a flying fuck lmao
