I agree pbutton, I don't think they understand. And as much as they chant that it's just natural instinct for them ...well ok , does that not mean women would have an equal natural instinct to feel protective and not want this attention..to feel creeped out. Because rape is often just part of nature, and somehow some of us have learned that in this type of society it is not welcomed. We have focused on men's natural sexual instincts for so long, I am not sure a lot of people think about what womens natutal instincts are beyond picking a suitable strong mate. It's more complicated than that.
There is a clear reason why it is intimidating for women. We are more defenceless size and strength wise. I guess maybe it could be compared to when a huge male come up to a smaller male in some sort of stare down and the smaller male doesnt know if biggie is gonna beat him to a pulp or not. But smallie doesn't stand much of a chance and knows it. Add the element of rape to that and I am sure men would not enjoy this situation. You don't feel a sense of security or control if biggie decides he wants a go.
Sadly if we took a poll at pc, the amount of women who have been sexually abused would be astonishing. And likely for the men as well. It is not like there is fear for no reason.
Fancy seeing you in here Indie, never told me you were a girl.
L . If you are reffering to me, I never suggested YOU like under age girls. I was talking about real life experience. I don't even know you, or what you are like. I don't want that to be misunderstood if that was the case. I never said anything like that. I was trying to explain that it is not a simple glance and when it is my daughter and old men are oogaling her its downright frightening . I am not a man hater, what I hate is having to feel unsafe because I have a vagina.. it kinda sucks. It's not all men, but it is many.
