Serious question: what does it MEAN to say that men are "sexualizing" an attractive adult women who is literally bending over, wearing tight jeans or booty shorts? Is the argument that human males should NOT find this attractive?

Because women’s fashion or choice of clothing is not grounds for men to gawk at or make sexual comments that’s weird, creepy, and very unnecessary and unprovoked

The argument is that men shouldn’t get sexual gratification from seeing women in tight jeans or booty shorts. They can find aesthetic gratification (wow she looks great) but not sexual (damn I want to fuck her)

Women have stated they dress like this for 2 main reasons: themselves to feel sexy and to catch attention. In order to feel sexy you have to be noticed. Obviously creepiness is not the same kind of attention they are looking for so NO dressing like this does NOT mean men can gawk etc HOWEVER women should understand this is opening themselves up to realistic responses as if a man were to walk around in tight clothes or sweatpants that displayed their “length”.

I think women are trying to emphasize the difference between sexual attraction and just attraction in general. They or most believe you can find something attractive while not really making it sexual at the same time. Ex. A woman finding a shirtless man attractive but not sexual and just admiring the fact that he looks good. Now generally if you make any sort of comment on another persons clothes being attractive in a relationship to your girl about another girl she’s probably going to get upset

I mean you can’t really control what turns someone on, everyone’s attracted to different styles of fashion, the issue is when men rest women dressing that way as a reason to objectify her or assault her etc

If they are wearing this to catch attention, they are looking for the same kind of attention a significant would provide but they should understand, again, this is opening themselves up to realistic responses because they are not doing this for their partner alone and instead are displaying it to the public.

It’s the same concept as giving one’s opinion online. You can hope to get a response like one you would receive from someone you are on good terms with but it is unrealistic to expect the same response from everyone.

So in short, certain responses can be demanded in any situation but if the response are not requested from an exclusive party, it is absurd to expect it from the public regardless of whether the public’s actions are condoned.

Yes but women see men All the time that are like wow he’s hot, but we say it inside our heads or politely and respectfully shoot our shot. And then if we’re rejected we say “ok” and then have whatever emotions we have privately.

I’ve seen a lot of women say some very sexually charged things about men they find attractive in public and online, not all men or women act the same. Obviously it’s much more common for men to take it too far but the point is that it’s ok to be sexually attracted to someone, not ok to assume that they’re dressing that way because they want you to harass or assault them

So I think that it goes to say that yeah sure you cannot find something inherently sexual but if someone else finds it offensive that you find it attractive it’s likely to be assumed it’s sexual. Doesn’t take a genius.

I feel like that is just what healthy people do around attractive people, Because there’s definitely both men and women with lower respect for people around them, but honestly this is how you should always act
