On a rare occasion, a woman will tell me that she doesn’t mind being objectified by men. To that I say:
That’s nice, but he’s not doing it because you don’t mind. He’s not waiting until he finds you, the (probably) only woman in the area who doesn’t mind. He’s doing it to every woman. He’s doing it because he wants to and he doesn’t care who likes it, and who doesn’t. He doesn’t stick around long enough to ask, he just takes.
Thaxted: #this is a really good response to self-tokenizing in general#like it’s fine that it doesn’t bug you#but can you not speak for everyone as if it shouldn’t apply to them either?
