I knew the comment was insensitive due to what it’s happening but I wanted to say it
I'm a bit surprised you don't seem to see what's wrong with this.
Would you mind explaining why you find it ok to write offensive things that are only tangentially related to the topic?
Yes I sexualize female bodies because I find them sexually attractive
What happens in your mind belongs to you and I'm not judging that.
On the other hand, posting it in a public place - especially commenting a news article about a fight for their rights - just adds to the societal misogynistic habit that it's ok to sexualize fem bodies anytime, anywhere and to care less about their message than the way we see them.
Downvote me, that’s why the mechanism is there
I don't feel like it's an appropriate response, I'd rather engage in the discussion for two reasons:
- I might be able to get to you and change your mind a bit or you might have arguments that'll make me rethink my position, downvoting has no chance of getting us there
- For the other people reading the comments here, seeing the discussion between us might help them understand the issue better and make their mind about it
