The truth is, not everyone has a body that demands to be shown off. And, unfortunately, the people who want to show off, and the people who ought to show off, aren't always the same people. In other words, you don't have to be attractive to enjoy exhibitionism, but there are also a lot of attractive people who don't enjoy exhibiting themselves. But none of this should be used as justification for preventing attractive people who want to show off from doing so. I know it raises ethical concerns regarding equal rights (and anyway, beauty is subjective) - who gets to show off and who has to cover up - but that's all stuff we can hash out while we're admiring the eye candy, and not before we allow ourselves to do so. If there is both beauty and ugliness in the world, then we should work to maximize the beauty we get to experience while minimizing the ugliness, instead of gouging out our eyes so we can see nothing at all.

Whether a person should think about sex when they see someone in a skin-baring outfit is beside the point. (It's perfectly natural for them to do so, but that's beside the point - as I said). Even if a person sees someone and wants to have sex with them, that doesn't justify any kind of inappropriate or uninvited behavior - in other words, harassment - much less assault or rape. Telling men not to think about sex is pointless, but telling women to cover up so as not to tempt men - that's missing the point, too. The only thing that needs to happen - the ONLY thing - is that men need to learn to control themselves. And the best way to do that is to parade women's naked flesh around as much as possible, and simply weed out the men who can't handle it. And by weed out, I mean remove them from society. Throw them in jail, and forcibly eliminate them from the gene pool. That would result in a far more pleasant outcome than policing women's wardrobes, and leading a literally buttoned-up lifestyle.
WOW you are not tender about men disrespectful toward others but I agree, it's the only way. Key word is respect.
ReplyDeleteAs a bi admirer of transgender peoples (ts, tv, cd, shemale, etc whatever you call them) I frequently see them on Flickr and elsewhere and half of them are unattractive. I am glad for them to have the courage to feel good to exhibe themselves like this. I don't follow them but I admire their courage do be who they really are.
And sometime we see a real beauty, very feminine, more then passable or a very beautiful androgynous person (like you zharth) that are seducing us.
So, be proud of who you are and enjoy yourself.
Normally I am very patient and forgiving, but when they are people whose behavior is causing society to take away from me the things that make me most happy. Well, I'm tired of suffering because other people are being dicks.
