I find the human body quite beautiful, really. Both male and female.

I imagine the female's disgust comes from a social stigma surrounding waving one's parts around in public.

Pretty uncessary to retort to violence for that.
If I had written "if some girl waved her tits at me she's getting punched" you would probably lock the thread.

You're such a hypocrite.


As a woman, we have much more to fear from a man flashing his genitals (men tend to be bigger and stronger than us, and more likely to rape us than other women) than a man does from a woman flashing her breasts. What are the chances that woman might attack and overpower you, compared to the chances of us being attacked and overpowered by a man flashing his junk at us? It's not hypocrisy for a woman to express a desire to fight back against a sexually aggressive man, it comes from experience (most of us have encountered sexually aggressive men that could physically overpower us if they wanted to.)



What if the woman is twice my size (I am a small man myself), can I hit her boobs if she waves them at me?

I higly doubt a man would wave his genitals at you before assaulting you, seems pretty counter-productive.


Exactly. Rapes don't start with waving genitals. They start with an assault or when men cannot take a no or in relationships.

Depends on the context.

In the Western World, men waving their junk at women is typically done in bad faith.

Additionally, if some woman is being sexually aggressive towards a man, and won't take the hint to leave him alone, I wouldn't be opposed to a man defending himself.

Some misunderstanding regarding the use of pronouns occurred here, and consequently a desire was expressed that this thread is to be cleaned.

Please proceed. :P

That's the usual reasoning around the issue, and also the primary reason why it is illegal. However, this just an interpretation taken out of thin air by men in power that feel threatened or disgusted. The truth is, it is catcalling that is aggressive while flashing typically is a passive behavior that is non-aggressive. IOW, we have criminalized the wrong behavior if we are concerned about aggression towards women. Not to mention all the domestic violence against women in relationships.


I don't believe either of them are "aggressive".

Exposing your penis in the street is a more extreme version of giving somebody "the finger."

Women are just plain more aesthetically pleasing. Boy parts are, well, grotesque. We are hairy creatures. We are not ordinarily the stuff of porn flicks. We are not the idealized smooth, slick, phallic structures of ancient times. Either you pee out of that thing or squirt baby juice which is messy for the girl on the receiving end. And, good grief, when you think about waste elimination through that thing, why WOULD a girl want one anywhere near her? Reproduction be darned, why?

While you take a young adult woman even with just a little bit of extra curves, a smooth-shaved camel toe--what's not to love? It doesn't take much for women, not REALLY. Men require too much effort to even make a difference, so it's best just to be gross. I know this. I have a bizarre bald pattern that makes me look like I have a greasy, crusty-old-man combover. And I can't convince anyone my hair just grows like that. What do I do? Once a month I get out the clippers, slap on a #2, and buzz it all clean. ANYTHING is an improvement. Either that or thousands on hair regrowth products that MIGHT work if I'm lucky. And I've been around long enough to know I'm never lucky.

Losing weight is tough, but I'm a 2-time master of the extended fast. I hate working out, but it had become a habit and part of my lifestyle.

You do your best.

Girls? Forget the makeup. Just take off your clothes and lay down right there... Because women of all shapes/sizes are beautiful. It's just the way it is. Accept it and move on.



I think this sums it up.

I believe it is a cultural thing. In ancient greek it was the other way around. The male body was considered the pinnacle of beauty.

I guess it can be aggressive that way. Catcalling on the other hand, is only aggressive if you're being paranoid. A lot of catcalling is just guys trying to imitate characters on TV. I used to think that is how guys are supposed to get dates.

Cat-calling is always rude and aggressive.

I get triggered when people say this. I think Cat-calling is a case by case thing. It's typically offensive based on when and how you do it, but if you are considered attractive to someone I think it's taken as just another method of flirting. One of those double standard things if you will.

Yep. And they were totally into pederasty, too.

Doesn't make it right.

What I mean by "cat-calling" is some dude screaming, "Nice tits!" when you walk by.

I know very few women who take that kind of thing as a compliment.
