(110,159 posts)17. see, i am not necessarily seeing that.
as much as we call the men out in this forum, we have a sense of protection of women, too. and i do not always feel that. sometimes i feel that women actually have a role in this. why wouldnt a man feel it offensive that a woman strips down to use her sexuality as a tool to get men to do something? i would think that would be a given for men. i think that would establish a sense of resentment alone. (if i were a man). i would see that as insulting.
i think of men that allow themselves to be treated that way, even in a supposed gain, to be as weak as the women that allow a man to control her thru whatever male means we may talk about.
i see them both as games for dominance and respect neither.
