U don’t think wearing sexually suggestive clothes and dancing suggestively encourages sexualization?

When did I ever say anything about wearing “sexually suggestive clothing”? When did I ever say anything about dancing? Respond to what I said. Why should I have been so worried about being sexualized in middle school that I stopped eating bananas?

Maybe a better way to phrase that would be women sometimes want to be sexual, but don’t want to constantly be sexualized even when they aren’t trying to be sexual?

When a woman or girl is existing, we don’t want to be seen as sexual. And there’s a difference between being sexual and being seen as a sexual object. Like I said to your other comment, for us there isn’t a difference, we don’t get that luxury.

It makes sense that you don’t want to be sexualized for just existing, when you aren’t even trying to be sexual. There’s a difference I think between being seen as being sexual and being seen as a sexual object. There’s former is sexualization and the latter is sexual objectification.

It’s very reasonable to want to be sexual without being seen as a sex object, but I don’t think it’s reasonable or even sensical to want to be sexual in a manner involving other people without being seen as being sexual by those people. I’m confused why you say there isn’t a difference when your point is that there is a difference between being sexual and being sexually objectified, which you talk about in your previous sentence?

What I’m saying is in daily life for us there is no difference. When I say there is a difference it’s because there is one hypothetically. The difference just doesn’t really exist for women. That’s what I am trying to say.

I gave myself a minor injury while listening to her music in the gym. Have to be careful with The Woods, gives me too much energy sometimes

Oh that’s so fair. I can’t listen to Don’t Cry For Your Daughters Eve without having too much energy. Can’t listen to it before class
