When you’re being viewed as an object of desire whenever you go in public, you get kind of tired of it. We just want to exist in peace. Just ignore the butt cheeks of a person who obviously didn’t mean to show them to you and go google some porn. Or at the very least don’t post memes about getting a boner from it like OP.
There do of course exist (far too many) people out there that objectify women, but that’s not what this post is about (at least the way I’m reading it). I can definitely relate to the situation where some random woman will do some mundane everyday thing, like put on a purse or let down her hair, and my body just decides to react to that.
It has nothing to do with objectifying women, and of course I don’t make a point out of it, but just push it out of my head and move on with my day. The point of the post is that it’s funny and relatable how the body can just decide to send a puff of hormones around your system as a response to the most mundane things, even though you know that it’s wildly inappropriate. I’m sure you’ve experienced the same thing at some point?
Hm, hadn’t viewed it that way, thanks for the input! Having what I described happen too often makes you a bit biased. Especially when you don’t even identify as a woman and don’t dress feminine.
Many, actually most, want to be desired. What you do here is imposing on other people’s bodily functions, other people’s thoughts, other people’s right to vibe over said functions. It’s not possible to prevent a boner or bodily attraction. Objectifying women is when you talk down on them or express that they are not human. People do that, and you can expedite virtue on them and it helps us all. But it is wasted on things like this.
Getting a boner is a very natural thing. It even happens during sleep. It’s not something that’s really controllable. It also doesn’t harm anyone.
The reason the body reacts the way it does, is just human evolution.
We want to exist in peace too, but unfortunately our bodily functions occasionally make that slightly harder and really embarrassing (hence the meme). Just ignore it. There is pretty much nothing we can do.
And obviously staring is very rude, but that’s a given.
Oh yeah, I totally get that it’s rough to not feel desired. You deserve to feel attractive. Ideally, everyone would be viewed as sexy when and only when they themselves feel like showing off, but that’s a tough ideal to achieve.

Because men being attracted to women doing everyday things = men bad.
Ignore all evidence of women being attracted to the same things. Those are fine.

But yeah the meme is stupid, I give you that.

That’s fair and understandable.
I get that it’s a struggle I’ll never comprehend, but from the other side of the fence, it seems like it’d be better.

I didn’t say or even imply men are bad, there is a lot of projection on my silly little comment.

Except men are constantly shamed for finding women attractive for just existing. Your comment ran right along that vein of thought.
