Why Is This Photo Deeply Offensive?

[Warren DeMontague]

113. People are sexually attracted to other people, often based upon physical appearance. This isn't

Terribly shocking or surprising or even newsworthy, to most people.

Sex isn't going away, Sexual attraction isn't going away, sexual attraction based upon physical appearance isn't going away- neither is it somehow inherently pathological, nor is there anything on Eris's green earth wrong with it, sorry.

There is nothing inherently oppressive about people being attracted to or looking at pictures of other attractive people, "sexualized" or no. I think it's great that people are turned on by this dude, if that's where their interests lie. Why shouldn't they be? He's hot, he takes care of his body, he obviously wasn't photographed against his consent... I think it's great. Nothing wrong with it at all. Not one god-damn thing.

Beyond that, the post you responded to was positing some flood of progressives somehow bothered by the picture of the guy in the OP who wouldn't be bothered by similar "sexualized" pictures of women.

So where are they? Where's the flood of dudebros outraged by shower package-man up there, who nevertheless hypocritically want to see Emily Ratajowski topless?

Maybe they'll show up later?

But please, in the meantime, explain to me more about how the picture of the showering gay country music singer in his underwear is responsible for rape.
