There are cultures where it is not unusual for a woman to be bare-breasted. There are cultures where a woman who picks up the hem of her garment to step over something and you catch sight of her ankle is being "revealing." So yes, people's opinions absolutely are that broad.

And honestly, why should it matter? I should not feel the need to analyze all the possible ways people might think of my outfit before I go outside. I should be able to dress in the manner I want without thinking that someone is going to bother me about it.

Des-Bal wrote:Yeah there's a difference between spying on people and observing them when they go into public.


And there is a difference between observing someone and ogling them or making inappropriate comments at them.

If women feel "intimidated" by going out in revealing clothing you can only be saying that wearing revealing clothing invites crime or that women need to toughen up.


Women feel intimidated by the actions of others, not by the clothing they are wearing.

You are insufferable. You don't even see the contradiction in your own statement while you try to twist around an argument you clearly do not understand.

Look up the word "sometimes" and you might start to see how you've undermined your own admittedly feeble argument.

objectification of women, AND men, has its place, as something for each to fap to. it doesn't have any place else though.
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.

Chauvinism doesn't need justifying.

And even if it did, I doubt you dames would be smart enough to understand the LOGIC needed to justify it.

He wanted a response to the phenomonae of glitter sprinkled breasts. If a woman takes a special effort to cover her breasts in glitter what purpose does that serve except for drawing attention.


I think glitter is fun. And can look good.

Why are you so stuck on glittered breasts specifically anyway? I've covered my arms in glitter before. I've put glitter in my hair. I use glitter eyeshadow sometimes. I've even contemplated getting glitter lipstick. The last time I wore glitter, it was white glittery stuff that a bunch of us put on because we were going somewhere with UV lights and glow-in-the-dark stuff and we thought it might look cool (it actually did nothing, but my black and white converse looked awesome!)
I do it because it's fun and I like the way it looks (although the hair thing is a pain in the ass to clean up after).

Because when you make your breasts sparkle you can't really complain when someone looks at them.

Hmmm....
I have to say, as a gay man, this whole conversation (especially the part about "tits" and how supposedly suddenly "everyone", including hetero girls, "love tits") is just extremely confusing to me. Lol

Personally, I would have to say that, sexually speaking, I am quite repulsed by them;
No matter how much I try, I always end up regarding them as just 2 rolls of fat that hang off one's chest. I guess it's all about personal tastes and preferences!

See what you've done?! (I'm talking to the "tit-talk" instigators). I ended up posting a comment about women's "tits" on a forum about the "objectification of women", and I don't even LIKE them (tits, that is)! Wtf?!
HALP! They're taking over the world I tell ya! One cup at a time!.....

You asked me if we could assume Sarah Palin and Jessica Mills were wearing their clothes for the same reason, doesn't that imply we can determine why they are wearing what they're wearing? You conceded that somethings were worn to invite attention. Combine those two ideas. You can assume that some women are wearing what they are to invite attention.


You can reasonably state that some people choose their mode of dress to attract attention. You cannot reasonably assume that any given person has dressed the way they have to attract attention.
