General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Women in public, no matter how they're dressed, are not "inviting" ANYTHING. [View all]yes. We've had a number of naked people wandering around in my neck of the woods in the last few months. (I can't believe I can say that.)
The men--almost every time one came up, the first reaction by people around was wondering what type of mental illness/drug problem he had.
The women also had their sanity and drug situation questioned, but there were definitely comments made about what their appearance was and how likely they were to attract sexual attention.
None of them, to my knowledge, have been called perverts or sex offenders. In the end, it seems to be chalked up to bath salts.
We also have perfectly sane, non-druggies naked in public around here yearly. Namely, a bunch of college students who like to swim when the water has just barely reached a decent temperature. None of them have been arrested, although the police usual issue a warning at them around this time of year. Two guesses which sex has a bunch of assholes (not participating) standing on shore catcalling at them.
Yes, there is sexism directed at both sexes.
The OP here is specifically about men who stare, shout at or harass women based on their sexual appeal. I, and many men I know, don't do this and think it is sexist. Do you agree?
