Yep. And you just keep taking it in that circle, without giving up.
You say people don't have a right to be not offended, but it is illegal to 'harass' them.
And telling a woman on the street, that she is beautiful is not legally considered harassment. Period. Full stop. No if's, no ands, no buts.
This is the level of communication I was talking about. Anything other level of communication is you attempting to put words in my mouth.
Nobody is demanding men never say anything to women, that's a straw man.
Yes they were.
Again, what about the other persons rights to walk freely without being bothered by a stranger?
Why do you think your need to compliment should trump a persons right to freely walk without harassment?
This statement is what I was specifically responding to. Noted by my quoting it in my original post. (Cause that's what quoting someone in your post means.)
Again, I sometimes feel harassed by Homeless people coming up to me and asking me, pretty much anything. Because of that, should I be able to demand that no homeless person should be able to talk to any stranger on the street, no matter how politely they do it? Just because I don't want to be bothered by a stranger?
But you are demanding that every women you think is dressed sexy must be open to 'courtship' to you, based on how hot you are or the hope that they woke up that day hoping for you to hit on them.
Once again, you keep putting words in my mouth. I never demanded anything.
I never used the word "Sexy" in my original post. Others brought up that word. And seeing as how that is the word they chose to use to defend their stance, I simply used the logic of that word to poke holes in their defence. And since you have circled it back to this once again, I will quote my analysis post for a third time. Try actually reading it this time. Or look up some evolutionary psychology studies.
Define "feeling sexy". What is "feeling sexy"? How do you know what "sexy" is in order to feel it?
If you were ever the only person in the world, would you still be able to feel sexy? Would you even know what "sexy" is?
Heterosexual women don't dress to emulate that which they find sexually attractive. If they did, they would dress like men.
Heterosexual women dress the exact opposite of what they are sexually attracted to. Why? Who's sexual tastes are they appealing to?
When women say they dress for themselves to feel sexy, the measuring stick of how successful they were, even in their own head, is based on the tastes of the group of people that woman is sexually drawn to. Be it women or men.
Psychologically, Women, and Men for that matter, primp and preen for others, even when they are doing it for themselves.
We do it because we know we will be judged as more desirable by the group who's opinion matters most to us.
Claiming otherwise shows a lack of personal insight. Regardless of if you are a man or a woman.
This was a thread about catcalls.
Yes. But you quoted and responded to a post that was specifically talking about Compliments, not catcalls. And that post was in response to another post's statement about compliments.
Compliments are not catcalls.
I'm done with this. Even after it was pointed out to you how many times you circled around this argument, you went ahead and circled it around yet again, and still tried putting words in my mouth that I never said.
It's like having a discussion with some anti-vaxer, who refuses to acknowledge science or logic.
Bye.
