And I think that's a lot of what this boils down to. It's not just guys ogling hot women on a thread on a message board. It's not just a few crass comments in said thread. It's the fact that for women--this is a part of every day life. After a while, it all builds up, and then one or more of us get frustrated and it turns into a discussion like this.
And inevitably, you have someone who comes in and complains that we're just hypersensitive girls and how dare we get mad because hey women look at men too!
Then I have to step back from threads that discuss sexism/feminism/misogyny so I'm not that "someone is
wrong on the
internet" person typing an impassioned rant at 3 in the morning.
