Compliments are not harassment.
Also, if you don't like people noticing your thighs then don't dress provocatively or get them tattooed.

I can't help thinking of this episode of the Ripping Friends where they help this girl who had a bully that was calling her pretty and such. So the guys beat the guy up and he's pretty much, "fine, you're ugly." And the girl is all happy and leaves. It's that same bizarro world things going on here.

"So Please Stop ‘Tatcalling’ Me"

I can feel the brain aneurism traveling through my body...

You know I just wish they were just done with it and just reach the point they always wanted to make:
Mancalling - when a man expresses any kind of sexual interest towards a woman regardless of context, setting, way of expression etc. To be prohibited and shamed at all times*

*unless the man happens to be cute so in that case why isn't that man expressing interest in me?!??! He has unrealistic body standards! We need Fat Acceptance movement!**

**unless the woman is a lesbian so any kind of advance - even from a cute guy - is unwelcomed and therefore despicable

Fuck attention whoring asshats who literally tattoo themselves with "PAY ATTENTION TO MEEEEEEEEE" and then scream when they get attention.

I curse-ya-me-ha-me-ha them with getting ignored the rest of their lives.

Maybe they only want other female notice, but who knows?
 
It really does seem like some of these folks expect you to just instinctively know whether or not you are "their kind" of person without having to, you know, ask? Because to just ask someone is apparently intruding on their sacred inner thoughts! Which is just as bad as rape don't you know!? YOU MIND RAPIST!!!! DIE!!!!!

The thing that cracks me up the most is the inevitable "where are all the good men" articles from women, which happens when their looks no longer carry them, and they don't quite realize yet that they're embarking on their very own Chris Chan love quest.
 
Wonder if the degree to which they've painted themselves into a corner even registers? Cognitively?

Man looks at me - Demeaning, objectifying, harassment.

Man doesn't look at me - Ignoring me because I'm a woman, misogynistic.

Man compliments my looks - Sexual harassment, possible preamble to rape

Man doesn't compliment my looks - Ignoring me because I don't' fit unrealistic and preconceived notions of beauty, set by his patriarchy.

Man talks to me - Mansplaining, demeaning, incapable of thinking I have opinions of my own.

Man doesn't talk to me - Probably was too busy mentally undressing me, the only reason he hasn't raped/killed me is this is a public setting.


I'd like to ask them, honestly, HOW should I act around women in public? But every time I ask, I get told "YOU KNOW what you're doing wrong! It's not MY JOB to explain it!"
 
For example, although I was assigned female at birth, I don’t consider my genitalia to be female. Consequently, I’m not uncomfortable with that part of my body – because I don’t consider it to be a contradiction to my gender identity.

It’s just a body part, like an elbow, or a nose. There is nothing gendered about elbows or noses – they simply are. I still experience body dysphoria, primarily around my chest; sometimes our mental maps just work out that way.

That's funny. I always thought there were pretty easily spotted morphological differences between numerous parts of the male and female anatomy, like the skeletal structure which allows the elbows and the nose to exist. I guess I'm just being a sexist shitlord who's too busy relying on "science" and "reason" and "a genuine concern for people who are actually trans having to deal with retards like these impeding their transition with their war on reality" to see the light of the transtrenders.

This country needs an enema.
 
I was going to say, the fact forensics can accurately identify the gender of human skeletal remains kinda shoots down that idea.... but you know.... science be damned if it doesn't conform to my feelings!

The problem really isn't that people can have some real flighty and self-centered ideas or thoughts on shaky or non-existent evidence, the problem is when they start insisting everyone else believe them too.

http://everydayfeminism.com/2015/05/dad-bod-phenomenon/ The editors at EF know where the real activist issues are, and apparently those are dumb memes that no one else besides them has ever heard of. Here they criticize the "dad bod" (?), or the idea that dads don't have to have a six-pack as long as they don't completely let themselves go, or something, because there's apparently also a "mom bod" who must have a perfect after-baby body with no stretch marks or anything (??????) and therefore the "dad bod" is sexist. I don't get it either.

The Dad Bod phenomenon was not started by the media, even if it’s being publicized and spread by it now.

The Dad Bod phenomenon was started and popularized by…teenage girls.

And according to the original viral article, the Dad Bod phenomenon is less about the fetishization of men’s bodies, and more about the self-policing of women’s bodies.

Specifically thin women’s bodies.

The article – again, written by a teenage girl – claims that the reason why girls love the Dad Bod is that it makes girls feel thinner and prettier.

The thought of a teenage girl finding a slightly doughy guy cute isn't some kind of weird Electra complex thing: it's self-subjugation! How could anybody find a muffin top on a man sexy? Disgusting.

Prostrate yourself and grovel.
 
Granted I've never seen Silicon Valley, but I don't see what's so wrong about having a show centered around a main cast that is all male. Of course the author turns it around to say that it's ok to have a male show, but not before complaining about that show not having enough women and being upset about it being show about men (and acting as if it is a bad thing).

It got me thinking that sometimes, having a certain number of women isn't going to make your show higher-quality. Let's take the webcomic, Pibgorn where the two main characters are female, self-sufficient and in the arcs, the women usually outnumber or are at least equal to the number of men. But the problem is that the females (especially in the last two years) are usually either sex-crazed, bimbos, violent and/or domineering. (Any woman who is not is usually treated like crap/humiliated.) Las Lindas is mainly about the females, but is a lousy series with a terrible main character. The truth is, I never liked any of the Sex and the City females, either.

It can suck when there's a lack of women in a story and I can understand that. Still, I felt like she was ragging on them.
 
That's why it's maddening at times, if characters are well developed and fully realized, then gender shouldn't matter and flip flopping them should not improve anything, so why the desire to see it done?

That only will get you accused of "window dressing" and throwing people a bone by putting in a character who's female for the sake of being female, and pandering is the exact OPPOSITE of a developed character.

People who don't watch the shows or comics they complain about will give a polite golf clap and assume that the people who "need" the representation will be satisfied.

Same thing's been happening with the Lady Thor comics.
